A BREATH OF FRESH AIR: DON’T MISS A TRIP TO DALKEITH COUNTRY PARK
Have you discovered the all new Dalkeith Country Park? A countryside haven set in 1,000 acres, you’ll find it hard to believe it’s just 20 minutes from the city centre. Fort Douglas adventure park is a magical place to let off some steam in the great outdoors and since the opening of the new Sky Maze in 2019, gives hours of entertainment on a family day out. Kids (and their adults) can find their fun in a maze of sky-high walkways through the trees, whizz across zip lines, scramble through treehouses, climb rope nets, whoosh down slides and brave the invisible floor. Across the bridge from Fort Douglas you’ll find Restoration Yard Store, Restaurant and Wellbeing Lab. An impressive boutique-styled store filled with fashion, homewares, kids, local food and drink, books and stationery, it’s less a shop and more a chic emporium. The Kitchen restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea or the Coffee Bar and Larder have a delicious selection of coffees, teas, cakes, soups and sandwiches. There's also the wider park to explore with waymarked walking and cycling trails to suit the whole family. Take in the history of this magnificent estate, admire the architecture of Dalkeith Palace and Montagu Bridge, built by ancestors of the Buccleuch family who still own
the estate to this day. And did we mention their events programme? There’s an extensive programme for adults and kids across the site from Fort Douglas activities to wine tasting evenings, fashion shows, craft workshops, wellbeing sessions and more. Find out more:
