Self-Guided Day Tours

Cyclists on a self-guided tour

Cyclists on one of our Beach and Castle tours

If you would rather not have a guide, we can still provide you with everything you need for a great day out in East Lothian.

Our self-guided tours include bike and helmet hire, a map, a recommended route, and emergency vehicle recovery. Our current roster of tours includes:

  • Beach Bum Tour – 23 or 12 miles
  • A leisurely ride around the county, stopping at some of our finest beaches. If the weather suits, why not cool down with a swim?

  • Castle Discovery Tour – 29 or 13 miles
  • Journey through beautiful countryside to some of the most spectacular and well preserved castles in the country. Learn about their turbulent, sometimes violent history and imagine life as it was then.

  • Beaches and Castles Tour – 20 miles
  • A tour taking in the best parts of both of the aforementioned tours – only available as a full day tour.

  • Hillfoots Trail – 41 or 20 miles
  • Cycle away from the coast towards the Lammermuir Hills and enjoy the peaceful farmland, forests and villages (not to mention Iron-Age forts). A great tour on a clear day as the views are incredible.

  • Whisky Trail – 29 miles
  • Another inland cycle with fantastic views, all the way to Edinburgh and across the Forth to Fife! We make our way to the famous local whisky distillery of Glenkinchie, where members of the group can tour the building and sample and purchase the amber nectar.

  • Coastal Trail – 28 miles
  • We wind our way along the coast to the nearby town of Dunbar, birthplace of the famous environmentalist and founder of the National Parks movement in the US, John Muir. Here we can visit many local attractions, including the house in which Muir was born, Belhaven Brewery, Dunbar Castle and stop at one of the county’s finest restaurants for lunch.

    All of our routes are customisable, so if you have suggestions for any changes to your route, or for a completely personalised tour, let us know and we will design one to suit!
