Embark on the Dundee Law, Broughty Castle & the Firth of Tay loop, a touring cycling route that blends historical landmarks with diverse landscapes. This moderate 24.3-mile (39.0 km) journey, with an elevation gain of 672 feet (205 metres), typically takes around 2 hours and 27 minutes to complete. You will cycle past the iconic Dundee Law, offering panoramic views, and the historic Broughty Castle, before enjoying scenic stretches along the Firth of Tay.
This popular route is mostly on paved surfaces, making it suitable for standard bikes, though some sections of the wider Green Circular might have unsurfaced paths. Be prepared for some challenging on-road hilly sections, especially when cycling towards Dundee Law's summit, which contributes to its moderate difficulty rating requiring good fitness. The Green Circular is well-signposted, making navigation straightforward as you utilize shared-use paths, often avoiding major roads.
Considered the most popular touring cycling route in Dundee City, this loop stands out for integrating two of Dundee's most significant landmarks. Beyond the urban waterfront, you can enjoy coastal views and green spaces, with opportunities to spot wildlife like seals basking on sandbanks and various water birds along the Firth of Tay. It offers an excellent way to experience the varied landscapes of the region.
