    Tips

    September 1, 2024

    Gladhouse Reservoir, at 460 acres (186 hectares), is the largest freshwater area in the Lothians. The views from here at the northern end are beautiful, and there are plenty of opportunities to see birdlife with good populations of pink-footed goose, mallard, teal, tufted duck, common moorhen, and great crested grebe. Apart from that, it is just a super nice place to be on your bike!

      This route has a closed road which makes it difficult and some of the trails will need thick long trousers as they are very overgrown so expect nettle stings.
