The Meadows

posted by fdale on 31 March 2011 at 16:01

The Meadows are located to on the south side of town behind the university. They are a beautiful expanse of parkland and in the summer fill up with people playing sport and musicians. The cherry blossom here in the summer is absolutely incredible.

Calton Hill

posted by qfowler on 8 October 2010 at 11:43

We decided to take advantage of a rare (or so it seemed during our holiday at least) sunny day and head to Calton hill. The kids enjoyed the green spaces and the opportunity to indulge in a little football but we were much more enthralled by the National Monument. The views from the top of The Nelson Monument are awesome, all the way to the sea and beyond, and the observatory was interesting although by then the kids had had enough so we couldn't properly explore.

just east of the main old bit, go on from the end of pronces street onto waterloo place and it's just there

Our Dynamic Earth and Volcano! (Arthur's seat)

posted by pcypret on 6 October 2010 at 12:47

This fascinating (albeit clearly aimed at kids) and architecturally interesting place is really interactive and the kids loved it. we learned about the history of the earth and then crossed into the park where we climed a defunct volcano like we'd just learned about, not an easy walk but great to tire the kids out and get a bit of peace in the evening! the views from the top aren't bad either!

where, when, how, web
Hollyrood Road and Hollyrood park, pretty central we walked there too and it was easy to find.
