Arthur's Seat Walk 🥾
Sun 27 Sept
|The Cafe at the Palace
What better way to start our walks than at the famous Arthur's Seat! Our weekend walks are a great way to explore the outdoors and meet new people. Walks every other Sunday near Edinburgh!
Fancy getting some fresh air and exploring one of Edinburgh's most famous walks?
Join us for a relaxed walk around Arthur's Seat
The route is around 4km and takes roughly 2 hours, with a steady climb and some steeper, rocky sections towards the summit. It’s a moderate walk, so a reasonable level of fitness is recommended, but the views from the top are absolutely worth the climb! 🏔️
Along the way, we’ll take in Holyrood Park, St Anthony’s Chapel and panoramic views across Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth before looping back down.
📍 Meeting point: The Cafe at the Palace, Palace of Holyroodhouse, The Royal Mile, Canongate, Edinburgh EH8 8DX, UK (this way we can grab a drink before we set off!)
📏 Distance: ~4km
⏱️ Duration: ~2 hours
⛰️ Difficulty: Moderate
📈 Elevation: ~230m ascent
🥾 Terrain: Grass, earth and rocky paths
What to bring: Comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots, water and a waterproof jacket. The summit can be windy, and some sections can get slippery or muddy after rain, so come prepared!
Come along, get some fresh air, tackle a famous Edinburgh landmark and meet some fellow CircleUp members along the way! 🌿✨
