グラッドハウス貯水池のおすすめライド

Blackford Hillの頂上から

Rather decent tarmac considering the remoteness of the road, and wonderful views.

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.

A bit of a slog if heading up the climb but it’s a great free wheel down. A very sharp bend to the right (on the downward direction when riding) if going that way otherwise it’s a steep climb up to the little hamlet.

Great spot for kayaking and paddle boarding 👌

And it is always windy up on the moor road and most of the times it is a brisk head wind, regardless of if you go south or north. The wind always knows you are coming and switches direction to greet you in the face. 😉😳☺️😰

Rosling Glen Country Park is a beautiful wooded park not far from Roslin. There are a number of things to see in and near the park, including Rosslyn Chapel, Rosslyn Castle, Wallace’s Cave, and Hawthornden Castle. Passing through these ancient woodlands is the River North Esk. Roslin Glen Country Park also appeared in the popular TV series ‘Outlander.’

Gladhouse Reservoir, at 460 acres (186 hectares), is the largest freshwater area in the Lothians. The views from this little inlet are particularly nice into the middle of the reservoir, and the roads are super good. On a good day, this is a proper little tree lined paradise to cycle through.
