Forth Road Bridge Cycle Path

Highlight • Monument

The impressive suspension bridge is over two kilometers long and is a listed building. As a cyclist, you have your own bicycle lane at your disposal, which makes cycling on the bridge a highlight. Left and right you have not only a great view of the Firth of Forth, but also on the two parallel bridges Queensferry Crossing and the railway bridge.

Old Almond Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Built c.1500, the bridge comprises three arches with massive triangular cutwaters which carry a narrow carriageway between low parapets. It once crossed the division between Edinburgh and West Lothian. The bridge was rebuilt 1617-19 and subject to extensive repairs in 1687-91 by Robert Mylne (1633 - 1710), 1761, 1776 and in 1854, all of these dates appearing on the bridge itself.
