Introduction

There are plenty of opportunities in Dundee for getting outdoors, whether on horseback, bicycle or just your own two feet.

Green Circular

The Green Circular is a 26-mile cycle route that circumnavigates Dundee. It passes through areas of parkland, alongside the scenic Firth of Tay riverfront, next to the Dighty Burn and past many of Dundee’s visitor attractions including Discovery Point and Camperdown Wildlife Centre.

Cyclists can now access the route through the Dundee Port area. Because of security legislation, those intending to use the cycle route will have to apply for a pass (provided free by the Port Office). Forms can be obtained in advance from the Port Office or from the reception on Floor 2 of Tayside House.

Green Circular maps are available free from the Tourist Office and the Reception area of Floor 2, Tayside House. A Route Guide is available (1.16MB Acrobat PDF).

Dundee’s Greenways

Dundee’s Greenways have been developed in the west of Dundee. The routes currently link the City Centre, The University of Dundee, Balgay Park, Ninewells Hospital, South Road Park and the Green Circular. The routes provide a useful link between work places, shops, leisure facilities and recreation areas.

Dundee Cycle Map

Dundee Cycle Map is the most upto date guide to cycling in Dundee. It includes the Green Circular and Greenways routes and recommends ways of getting across much of the city using quieter roads, cycle lanes and off road routes. Pick it up at the library, Dundee Travel Active shop in the Wellgate or in the Tourist Information at Discovery Point.

Horse Riding in Dundee

There are bridleways marked out in the Greater Camperdown Country Park area. The trails in Templeton Woods are particularly suited to horse riders.

Walking in Dundee

The parks, woodlands and open space in Dundee make it an excellent place for walking. You can follow the Green Circular route or simply take a walk in one of the many green spaces around Dundee.

Walking is one of the easiest ways to stay fit and healthy. If you haven’t got the motivation to go out by yourself, why not go along to one of our Healthy Walk Groups and make some new friends while you’re there?
