    Tips

    Cycling

    Superb spot at the foot of the Pentlands, easy gravel paths and lots of swimming spots. Busy with walkers and cyclists.

    So if you are into open water swimming, this is the favourite spot of the locals to go open swimming in this reservoir. There is a small beach to access the water and a good 100m run along to a land-bar that comes out into water.

    Cycling

    Open Water swimming spot, as well as a decent gravel track allowing you to connect to either the western Pentlands, or head north along the High Riggs, or if going east link to the saddle route over to Flotterstone, or through to Torphin to take you back into Edinburgh
