We are the Balerno Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
You are invited to join a leisurely circular walk in attractive woodlands and countryside of Midlothian.
We start at Edinburgh College in Dalkeith, walking through woodland to descend into Newbattle Estate to join the A7. Passing the Sun Inn we soon turn in to the Lady Lothians Plantation, enjoying a walk through more woodlands to join a minor road to the area of Mayfield. We pass Mayfield Golf Course to walk through Newbattle College Grounds to Maidens Bridge and then walk alongside Newbattle Golf Course on our return to the start point.
If you would like to join this walk, please contact the walk leader to register your interest and advise of any issues that may affect your ability to complete the walk.
Paths may be muddy, so boots, gaiters and poles are advised.
Regretfully dogs are not permitted on our walks.

Start Point is at Eskbank Station Car Park, near Edinburgh College (Midlothian Campus) which is accessed from A7 at the Hardengreen Viaduct roundabout via Dalhousie Road (B6393). One route to this point is to exit the City Bypass at the Lasswade junction. Turn right, to head downhill, pass the Laird & Dog, continue over the bridge and uphill to join A7. Turn righting on to the A7, head south to the Hardengreen roundabout, turn left here onto Dalhousie Rd, after about 0.5mile turn left again into the College and Eskbank Station car park.
