Prestonpans to Levenhall
East Lothian Council, through grant funding from Sustrans, has commissioned AECOM to develop initial design drawings for a safe and accessible route between Prestonpans and Levenhall, to improve the journey for those walking, wheeling or cycling.
As part of the design study, these concept design drawings will be consulted on with Elected Members, key stakeholders, and the public. Feedback from those discussions will help to inform the final route design.
The drawings can be downloaded using the link below and have been split in to four sections: Drawing A – Levenhall, Drawing B – Westpans, Drawing C – Prestongrange / Morrison’s Haven to Sam Burns Yard, and Drawing D – Cuthill, Prestonpans. One final document has been included to show the route in its entirety.
Each design drawing will open with an introductory slide at the top, highlighting the key features on that section of the route. The full version of each drawing is available by scrolling past this introductory slide.
An online feedback survey can be found at the link below, where you can record your views on the design drawings. This will allow you to provide responses to specific elements from the initial designs, as well as any general comments that you may have. Please take a few minutes to familiarise yourself with the drawings before completing this survey, which will remain open until 11.59pm on Sunday 2 March.

This project supports East Lothian’s Climate Change Strategy which aims to reduce carbon emissions and improve climate resilience. The route will also form a key connection, as part of the wider East Lothian Active Travel Improvement Plan, to several routes including Musselburgh Active Toun (MAT), the John Muir Way, and National Cycle Network Route 76 (NCN 76).
Two images have been provided below which demonstrate how this route could look. The first image is a bird’s eye view of the Levenhall area. The second image shows an on-the-ground visualisation of the section near Morrison’s Haven.
