The inside story
Cherished by locals and visitors alike, Holyrood Park is a city park like no other. It’s made up of three lochs, vast green plains and the dramatic Salisbury Crags which shape the city’s skyline. Whether you’re conquering Arthur’s Seat – the park and city’s highest point – or munching on a picnic on its grassy banks, it’s hard not to fall in love with this haven of tranquillity in the heart of Edinburgh.
Holyrood Park is just a few minutes’ walk from the city’s old town, yet a world away from the hustle and bustle. Nearby are the ruins of Holyrood Abbey and the famous Palace of Holyroodhouse – meaning you can tick off a few sights in one go. The park, which dates back around 350 million years, is a popular meeting point for locals and a great place for a relaxing stroll. In fact, there are a few different walking routes and peaks to climb, like the iconic Arthur’s Seat – an extinct volcano, older than the city itself. According to local folklore, it was the site of King Arthur’s palace and the scene of many battles. On your way back down, you can visit St. Anthony’s Chapel, a 14th-century hermit’s cell used by pilgrims for many centuries.
