Often busy with dog-walkers at peak times

Beautiful spot, relatively easy to cycle through and 360 degrees of beautiful scenery.

Threipmuir Reservoir (west) & Harlaw Reservoir (east) where built in the mid-1800s to increase the water supply for the Edinburgh area. Both have great lakeside trails for a flatter run in the Pentlands.

Redford Bridge crosses between Bravelaw Marsh to the west and Threipmuir Reservoir to the east. It's a useful access point to the Pentland Hills from the north.

A great alternative to the main track by going through the trees. You'll almost always end up taking a slightly different line in the trees as you weave through the patches of woodland by the side of water. Also a great spot to shelter from the wind if you want to stop for chow.

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

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.

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