Holyrood Park, Queen's Dr, Edinburgh EH8 8HG, UK
The 640-acre Holyrood Park is a lush oasis within the city, and it's easy to forget your urban surroundings while standing in the mossy plateaus between the park’s towering hills. Summiting the main peak, Arthur’s Seat, is a popular trek among locals walking their dogs and tourists seeking the incredible views from the top. There are multiple options for climbing the extinct volcano, ranging from a steep rock scramble to an easier walk up a gentle slope, so it’s best to ask for clear directions in advance to avoid ending up on the wrong route.
