Four scenes: cottage with sheep, Holyrood Park from a hillside, on a bridge looking down to a river and Highland cows grazing in a field

Green Walks are social events and a great way to meet other Greens and explore parts of Edinburgh you may not know so well.

This walk will give us great views of Edinburgh and the Forth from Blackford Hill and take us from the bustle of Bruntsfield out to the rural edge of the city through parks, woodland and farmland.

We’ll meet at 1:00 pm at the public toilets in Bruntsfield Links, walk through Marchmont to Blackford Pond and then up the hill past the Observatory. From there we’ll drop down to the Hermitage and up Howe Dean Path, past the Braid Hills golf course to Mortonhall, finishing with a coffee at the Stables Bar before catching the bus back to town.

NB Those wanting to shorten the walk can meet us at the entrance to Blackford Hill beside the pond at 1:30pm.

Our Green Walks vary in terms of accessibility. This walk includes some steep hills and steps and although we’ll be walking at a gentle pace, you must be reasonably fit to join this walk. It is suitable for dogs. There are public toilets at the start and customer toilets at the finish.

Please note: Green Walks are coordinated by Edinburgh Greens but these are not guided walks. All attendees take responsibility for their own health and safety. Under 18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Non-members are welcome.
