Become a Family MemberLove it, perfect walk for everyone and pets. First time visiting there and beautiful area to walk about, full of green. There’s a coffee and cake truck at the front gate.
A splendid park for wildlife and local heritage, I spent a good few hours walking around the woods, meadows and exploring its ruins such as it's walled garden and old stables. It's close to the airport but still a real peaceful place, with a number of ancient trees and wetland areas dotted across the park. There's a wee coffee and cake van for refreshments at the main entrance that's lovely, but do keep in mind very limited toilet facilities in the park with none open on my Sunday visit.
This is a great place to walk your dog(s) and see some interesting historical ruins along the way. It’s popular with dog walkers all year round. There are a number of routes marked out throughout the sprawling estate, however there is no requirement to follow the markers. Keep your eyes open and alert as you meander through the woods because there is a variety of wildlife to spot and delight you. Car parking facilities are provided but I have yet to find toilets or a cafeteria etc which is a shame as you could spend a whole day exploring the area , weather permitting … these facilities would be a much appreciated enhancement to the overall experience. The route shown in the photo is a relatively short one of approximately 1 hour.
Lovely Climate and place for walking, tricking and dogs walk. Beautiful nature and good place for photography. Best time to visit is summer and spring. Every one will love the place and it's for all kinds of ages. One of the best place fore picnics in open space and outdoors.
A hidden gem on the outer skirts of Edinburgh. It’s a huge park with lots to explore and discover. From several plants to many ruins- it makes quite a picturesque park. It is free to enter and a great place to explore. There’s also a nearby tower which is also worthwhile to take a closer look. Very well kept nature estate and would definitely recommend for a sunny day out
