Cycling

East Lothian is a fantastic destination for cycling, whether you're a novice rider or looking for a leisurely family day out. The landscape is largely flat, making it easy to explore, while the scenery is simply magnificent. For those seeking more of a challenge, head further inland where rolling countryside gives way to the foothills of the Lammermuir Hills, rewarding cyclists with spectacular views across the county.

East Lothian is also wonderfully compact, making it easy to visit many of its attractions in a single day. Explore quiet country lanes, discover picturesque villages and enjoy the freedom of experiencing the area's beautiful landscapes on two wheels.

If off-road cycling is more your style, there are plenty of exciting trails to put your skills to the test, with exhilarating routes winding through woodland, countryside and coastal landscapes.

Take a look below at our selection of cycling routes, including family-friendly rides. For more inspiration and route information, visit our Komoot site.

Ezee Riders, based just outside North Berwick, offers electric bike hire and guided tours, helping you explore East Lothian's stunning beaches, countryside and hidden gems.
