Jubilee Bridge (Blue Bridge), Queensferry

Highlight • Monument

The bridge was built by Sir William Arrol & Co. between 1925 and 1927. It takes its name from an earlier bridge on the same site which was completed during the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897. The abutments of the old bridge are still visible at both sides to the left (facing north) of the current bridge. The remains can be seen at low tide near the abutments.

By the 1960s shipping had ceased on the River Dee. The bridge's lifting mechanism was removed and the roadway fixed permanently in place. In 2005 the Jubilee Bridge was awarded Grade II Listed building status by Cadw.

Nets Café

Highlight • Cafe

Nets Cafe, which is a well-known cyclist cafe and is very reasonably priced. There’s loads of outside seating, so you don’t have to worry about locking your bikes up.
It gets busy in the summer but it's in a beautiful spot. It's worth a ride to get there.
