Cycling in the Terhills area takes you across the former Eisden coal mine sites, a place steeped in industrial history. The mines, which only closed in 1987, were in full operation not so long ago. As you cycle through this special landscape, you will discover a mix of industrial relics and nature that has slowly recovered. The route offers a unique experience, where history and nature come together in an impressive setting.
