The Vennel Viewpoint - Castle in Edinburgh: photos, reviews

About

The Vennel Viewpoint in Edinburgh offers an exceptional perspective of the iconic Edinburgh Castle, making it a prime spot for photography enthusiasts. In the early morning hours, you might find yourself alone with this stunning view, capturing unique angles of the historic structure. Perfect for families, the area is child-friendly and grants access to a lesser-seen side of the castle, along with a path leading to the historical Flodden Wall. For those looking for a scenic stroll, a walk from New Town to the viewpoint and onwards to Princes Street Gardens is both relaxing and picturesque. After taking in the views, treat yourself with some delightful ice cream from Mary's Milkbar, conveniently located just down the steps. Even in early November, the viewpoint remains a quiet retreat amidst the bustling city, making it one of Edinburgh's hidden gems for both day and night photography.
