Harlaw Reservoir is a popular spot for outdoor activities including walking, fishing, and wildlife watching. One of the highlights is a small embankment on the far side of the reservoir which offers stunning views of Threipmuir Reservoir. On weekends visitors you can get your hands on some homemade crepes from a local van parked near the Harlaw House Visitor Centre.

Torduff Reservoir is a relatively small reservoir at 23 acres (9.4 hectares) just southwest of Bonaly. It sits neatly below the western flank of Torduff Hill. Nearby to the southwest is also Clubbiedean Reservoir. There is a good series of bike routes in this area that can take in both Torduff and Clubbiedean Reservoir to make use of the beautiful views of the surrounding Pentland Hills.

Free and easy to any fitness level

The Green Cleugh valley in the Pentland Hills, south-west of Edinburgh, is a real highlight for any mountain biker looking for a mix of challenge and scenic beauty. The Pentlands, a range of hills stretching for around 32 kilometres and including twelve peaks, mostly over 500 metres high, offer a variety of routes for outdoor enthusiasts. Green Cleugh itself is a steep-sided valley, framed by the peaks of Black Hill and Hare Hill. The route through this valley is not only known for its natural beauty, but also for the tranquil atmosphere that can be felt even on the wildest days. The descent down to the river is described by many bikers as particularly attractive, as it is both technically challenging and scenically impressive. The route that runs through Green Cleugh is a wonderful way to link up various loops in the Pentlands. With smooth tarmac at either end and a varied mix of flowing trails, some loose rocky sections, grass, three stepping stones, two gates and a couple of bridges in the middle, it offers a versatile riding experience. This diversity makes the valley a memorable experience for mountain bikers. Most notably, the route is suitable for both suspension bikes and rugged hybrid bikes, making it an ideal destination for bikers of various ability levels. The route feels "off-road-y" without being too technical, making it fun for anyone who wants to feel like they're off the beaten track without encountering extreme challenges. The Green Cleugh valley is not just a ride through beautiful countryside, it's also a link between various loop routes in the Pentlands and beyond, making it a central hub for exploring the area. Whether you travel from north to south or vice versa, the route offers a unique mix of natural beauty and cycling fun.
