Pentland Hills Regional Park

Get out and about in the Pentland Hills, just south of Edinburgh. Four circular walks are ideal for younger visitors or shorter trips. Or you can take to the hills on foot, bike or horseback to explore all that the park has to offer. A biodiversity trail will entertain children, and there are three orienteering courses to try.

Good entry points to the park are Harlaw House Visitor Centre, Flotterstone Information Centre and Hillend Country Park.

You can find further visitor facilities at Lochore Meadows Country Park and the Pitcairn Centre, Glenrothes.
