Verdict
To be honest this is a boring ride, there is some nice scenery however. You also have to cross St. Margarets Bay Rd quickly which can add a bit of stress depending on the time of day.

This is a simple rail to trails ride from Timberlea B.L.T to the Bike and Bean in Upper Tantallon, there is not much to it, some gradual inclines, mainly gradual downhill on the way there (very gradual). Its about 13 KM if you start at the small area for parking beside the trail where it says Glengarry Estates (Forestglen Drive / St Margarets Bay Rd - see picture)
Difficulty level - Easy
