Edinburgh Parks and Play Areas
Take the short trip from the city centre to the Royal Botanic
Garden, acknowledged as one of the world’s finest gardens. It
includes Britain’s tallest palm house and 6% of all known
plants.
A very different experience of nature is
presented by the primal crags of Arthur’s Seat in Holyrood Park,
which rises to 251 metres (higher than any point in
Denmark).
Choose to live anywhere in the city region and
you’ll be close to an area of singular, natural beauty.
Ramble among the woodland trails of Dalkeith
Country Park and Roslin Glen. Visit the great estates of
Dalmeny and Hopetoun along the Forth coastline.
Contemplate the ‘wide and starry sky’ above the Pentland
Hills Regional Park. The air is as invigorating as it was
when Robert Louis Stevenson came here to recuperate as a child.
The seascapes and cliff top trails of
John
Muir Country Park honour the memory of the Dunbar native
who founded Yosemite National Park and became the father of the
conservation movement.
