Almond Aqueduct to East Calder via Newbridge

East Calder
Moderate (0)

This route acts as an extension from the Almond Aqueduct Walk, taking you from the Aqueduct to East Calder via Wilkieston. Note this route continues beside a road which can be quite busy, with at times a single-file pavement, so is best suited for a confident adult walker.
