Getting here

Information on travel to the Dunbar area is available from Transport Direct

Once here, there is a FREE shuttle bus operating between the venues -or why not bring your bike? We are organising a couple of led cycle rides to Art Root venues on the afternoon of Saturday 24 September. These will leave from the train station and be easy-paced rides of around 1 hour each way, with plenty of time for rest-stops to take in the views. More details here.

For independently minded cylists, we suggest some possible bike routes on the map here.

The definitive cycle map of area is produced by Spokes, the Lothian Cycle Campaign; this map can be purchased online.
