About

The Innocent Railway Tunnel in Edinburgh is a captivating blend of history and adventure. As one of the earliest tunnels for horse-drawn coal railways, it offers a unique glimpse into the past, especially for those fascinated by railway heritage. Although tucked away near a block of flats opposite the Commonwealth Pool, it's well worth seeking out. With a smooth surface and gentle 1:30 decline, the half-mile tunnel provides an exhilarating ride for cyclists, seamlessly integrating into the well-signposted NCN Route. Children can enjoy exploring the tunnel, and the artwork graffiti lining its walls adds a modern twist to the historic site. As you emerge, an expanse of open countryside awaits, with paths leading you onward to Craigmillar Castle or the charming Duddingston Village. Whether cycling or walking, this hidden gem offers a flat, smooth journey through a piece of Edinburgh's storied past.
