the walk can be started either from cramond brig pub at the quensferry road or from the cramond village car park at the cramond promenade.
river almond meets the sea at cramond village, the walk along the river is about 1.5 -2 miles long. the whole way the path is well defined and sheltered by trees - great for rainy or windy days out.
from cramond village walk south to the old mill (now café - great cakes!), pass the cascade and soon you'll reach the stairs. walk up and soon you'll be going down to the river level again (this is to avoid a dangerous cliff at the river).
soon you'll find yourself briefly entering the estate and reach cramond brig with enclosure for ponies nearby!
walk time about 1.5-2hrs return
