John Muir Way at Blackness

Highlight • Trail

This trail past Blackness forms part of the John Muir Way (Helensburgh to Dunbar; johnmuirway.org/route) and the National Cycle Route 76 (Berwick Upon Tweed to Kirkaldy - sustrans.org.uk/find-a-route-on-the-national-cycle-network/route-76/). The surface is light gravel so will be fine for most bike types except perhaps racing road bikes in the winter where it might get a bit slippery when wet and muddy.

View of the Forth Bridge from the John Muir Way

Highlight • Bridge

The John Muir Way runs 135 miles (217 km) across central Scotland from Helensburgh on the Firth of Clyde to John Muir's birthplace Dunbar on the Firth of Forth. It is named after John Muir, the famous conservationist who founded America’s National Parks. The trail is a unique journey on a fully waymarked trail for cyclists and walkers through the country’s natural, cultural, and industrial heritage. It covers a wide range of scenery, from upland paths, rolling farmland, canal towpaths, woodlands, and country parks. There are even sections of beaches and clifftops in the east coast section. Here at Abercorn, you have fine, uninterrupted views of the Forth Bridge, an iconic symbol of Scotland that is one of the most famous bridges in the United Kingdom.
