The upgrading of the National Cycle Route (NCR75) within Almondell Country Park at Mid Calder is now complete. The project within a narrow strip of woodland alongside the River Almond involved path repairs, some realignment to reduce gradients and improve the amenity, and the provision of safety barriers and passing places. It has been designed to meet the needs of both cyclists and walkers who are the majority of users.
