We are the Balerno Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Walk Route: From PVCP walk down onto the Water of Leith, and along to Spylaw Park, with an early stop for a hot drink and a good snack to keep us going. Then through the Colinton Tunnell and continue going down to lower level to look at the Weir and new Metal Bridge over the river, photo stop on way back up the steps. After about 1000m we turn sharp left and walk up | Knockhilbraehead to Lanark Road, we cross over and down over the bridge turning left along the Union Canal. We pass approx. 10 bridges and at the 11th (No 7) at Wester Hailes, we walk on to the next metal bridge, and cross over this into Westburn Middlefield housing estate, walking up to the road. Turn right here and about about 500 yards we turn right and walk along the back road passing Baberton Mains Cottages to the Kennels at the end, and then up Donkey Lane to Muirwood Road. Then turn right and continue passing Muirwood Park and on to the Blossom Cafe at the bottom of Bryce Road for lunch.
