Nice big walking area with plenty of paths to take. Fantastic panoramic views of the city if you choose to ascend Corstorphine Hill Tower. Don’t forget to look up every now and again - you might catch a glimpse of a grey squirrel!
Corstorphine hill nature reserve, situated beside the Edinburgh zoo, is a peaceful retreat with beautiful greenery and some wildlife. It has nice trails and spots for picnics. It is a perfect place for a relaxing day outdoors.
Park with nice pathways and lovely nature. Great place to take a walk with or without dogs. There are also some places with an awesome view on Edinburgh, and sometimes u get a glimpse into the zoo with Zebras and other animals. We loved it.
This is local to me so I walk here all the time with my family. Lovely couple of km walking past the view point down to Barton Quarry. Super spot in any season. One of those "hidden gems" tourists are always looking for.
Good view of the city all-around. There is also a Hill tower which is open on Sundays around 2pm in Summer and a walled garden on the Corstophine Road side. See attached maps and details for other attractions including a nuclear bunker.
An excellent walk, fabulous views of the city, and we saw 2 zebras around the back of the zoo. They weren't fazed by our dog either!
Beautiful and stunning view! The walk is not super easy but is manageable with a good pair of hiking shoes. Entrance from the Corstrophine Road next to the hospital and easy to find. Not many tourists as compare to Arthur Seat and Calton Hill. Tranquil and nice.
Beautiful spot. We rested and were thankful. This spot is to remember the old times when walking up a huge hill was a much harder task. Once at the top, you are supposed to stop, rest, and be thankful. Simple concept overlooked by people now days. Do yourself a favor and remember this practice
