The vast open space of Leith Links is nearby, offering a number of leisure opportunities, as well as the old bath house of Victoria Baths, now a leisure centre with swimming pool and fitness centre. The Water of Leith cycle path network ends here and offers a vast network of pedestrian/cycle routes, safely connecting you to Edinburgh and outlying areas. The tram network runs up Leith Walk and takes you west, as far as the airport. Additionally, there are efficient regular bus routes which also service the area.
