Corstorphine Hill is only 531 feet (161 metres) high and an easy walk to the top. On the Hill you'll find the Walled Garden which you can relad about on a web (Google's algorithm didnt allow me to show you the url). It's looked after by the Friends of Corstorphine Hill (F.O.C.H). The Walled Garden was restored in 2000 and is a place to enjoy birdsong, butterflies and the environment. There's a F.O.C.H Facebook page with great photos of the Clermiston Tower, the monument to Sir Walter Scott, the Garden and local wildlife. Put your ideas to the Friends and share this review. Become a volunteer! After leaving the Garden, consider the many woodland paths and vantage points with views of wallabies and zebra in the adjacent RZSS Zoo and of the Castle, Arthurs Seat volcano and the Pentlands from the Famous Rest and Be Thankful vantage point. There's lots to see for nature lovers and dog walkers and anyone wanting some gentle exercise an the west side of the City of Edinburgh.
Tranquil little garden home to a variety of wildlife, making it a great place to sit and watch the world go by. It’s not very big, so it’s best suited for leisurely strolls rather than extensive walking.
Nice tiny garden. A good place to sit down and chill out. Not much walking can be done here but as it's located on corstorphine hill, that's not a problem as you can easily walk around in the surrpunding areas.
This is a very nice walled garden that's not quite off the beaten track but close enough to be loved by locals and hidden from undesirables. Its maintained by volunteers and you can tell as it looks like a labour of love.
Gorgeous,full of flowers, well tended and manicured gardens, not at all as busy as i expected it to be.
