Overall Rating
Good
The walkway from Cannonmills has been upgraded and offers an elevated barrier free walkway. There are viewing platform areas to overlook the river and local wildlife. The section from the road bridge into St. Mark's Park has been modified to incorporate a ramp instead of the older steps.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
Access for most of the route, approximately, 500 metres, is barrier free. The section in St. Mark's Park comprises a gravel pathway and does have a fairly steep slope upward as it comes into the main part of the park.
Parking & Transport
Poor
Limited on street parking. Accessible buses run to and from Cannonmills.
Accessible Toilets
Good
There is an accessible toilet at Canonmills and is accessed using a RADAR key.
Additional Information
A great stroll by the river.

Never knew that the Water of Leith was so accessible - thanks for the review!
