About

The Leamington Lift Bridge offers a charming spot for a leisurely stroll along the Union Canal in Edinburgh's outskirts. As you walk, you'll likely encounter graceful swans and ducks moving serenely along the water. This unique pont levant bridge, accommodating vehicles, pedestrians, and boats, adds a touch of architectural interest to the area. While the views are delightful, note that the bridge's lifting operation for narrow boat cruising might not always be available. Despite this, it's a popular spot for its picturesque setting, often noted in its 4.4-star Google rating. Perfect for a quick visit under an hour, this spot provides a tranquil escape from city life.

Ce pont levant permet de ménager la circulation des véhicules et des piétons et celles des bateaux sur le canal. L’ensemble est assez sympa et offre une belle promenade de part et d’autres du canal, en admirant les cygnes et les canards. Cela mérite incontestablement un petit crochet.
