Forth Road Bridge Cycle Path

Highlight • Monument

The impressive suspension bridge is over two kilometers long and is a listed building. As a cyclist, you have your own bicycle lane at your disposal, which makes cycling on the bridge a highlight. Left and right you have not only a great view of the Firth of Forth, but also on the two parallel bridges Queensferry Crossing and the railway bridge.

Charlestown Limekilns

Highlight • Monument

The 14 limekilns at Charlestown were built out of sandstone in the 18th century and became the largest in Scotland. Opposite the kilns is a harbour specifically built to allow ships to get as close as possible to the kilns, after which they would carry the quicklime and coal to the rest of the country and beyond; playing an important role in the industrialisation process.
