Arthur’s Seat and Holyrood Park
Holyrood, United Kingdom
Arthur’s Seat and Holyrood Park make Edinburgh’s landscape part of the itinerary rather than a distant backdrop. Paths cross an ancient volcanic setting of crags, slopes and lochs, with views that put the city’s built form in perspective. Choose a route suited to your fitness and the conditions; a lower walk can be as satisfying as reaching the summit. The appeal lies in the immediate shift from urban streets to open terrain.
