About

Perched above Edinburgh, Salisbury Crags offers a captivating escape for locals and visitors alike. Renowned for its impressive 4.9 rating, this park doubles as an entertainment hub with features that cater to all age groups and their furry companions. The trails present a delightful mix of natural wonders - think wild flowers and apple trees - culminating in breathtaking views of Arthur's Seat and the city's skyline. An ice cream truck awaits at the trailhead, perfect for a treat before embarking on the journey. While the vistas are unbeatable just before sunset, allowing for stunning panoramas, caution is advised near the craggy edges. For convenience, ordering an Uber ensures a smooth arrival and departure from this enchanting spot.

The red sandstone cliff edge is the defining feature of this small hill. The northern flank offers the best view of the historic city centre, whilst the southern end is defined by Arthur’s seat rearing up in front of you.

Estupendas vistas de la ciudad y suficiente para no tener que subir a Arthur’s Seat (también recomendable). Muy cerca de lo que es la ciudad, fácil subida y posibilidad de seguir caminando por la zona.
