Green Cleugh is a valley in the Pentlands, a range of hills to the South-West of Edinburgh. They stretch for about 20 miles (32 kilometers) with twelve peaks, mostly over 1640 feet (500m).

Green Cleugh is a steep sided valley, between the peaks of Black Hill and Hare Hill.

Agree with Neil above. One of my favourite spots in the Pentlands. Even on the wildest of days it can be so serene and still. The descent down to the river is pretty great too!

Fun path that is relatively easy to traverse on a hybrid bike, but still rough enough to feel "off-road-y"
