Help connect Danderhall
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Danderhall’s Slow Ways.

The city walking stops when the route joins national cycle route 1, then unexpectedly dives into the Innocent Railway tunnel at the end of a residential parking area (don't worry, it stopped being a railway in 1968). At Duddingston Road, the route turns right, then crosses Peffermill Road and continues up the road to Craigmillar Castle Park, home to the "other castle" that the route description and previous reviewer describe. The route goes through the park, then crosses the road and continues across Little France Park, which lurks quietly behind the Edinburgh Bio Quarter, home to two hospitals and an increasing number of related businesses. At the Wisp, the route reaches Danderhall, an old mining village, presumably the source of some of that coal that traveled along the Innocent Railway....

Lovely route taking advantage of as many traffic free options as possible and giving great views of the city as a bonus. There aren't many places when you can see both castles at one time!...

Great route almost entirely on a well maintained cycle path. Only issue currently, March ‘22, is that the exit from the path down into Danderhall is still under construction but it looks like it should be finished soon. This unfortunately means a short walk along a busy road but there is a good pavement....
