"Hiking to Calton Hill: Edinburgh’s Best Panoramic Views"

#hikingtrails Hiking to Calton Hill in Edinburgh is a rewarding experience, offering stunning panoramic views of the city. The trail is relatively short and easy, making it suitable for hikers of all ages and fitness levels. Starting near Regent Road, the well-maintained path takes you through lush greenery as you gradually ascend to the top. Along the way, you’ll pass iconic monuments such as the National Monument, Nelson Monument, and the Dugald Stewart Monument, each rich in history. Once you reach the summit, you’re greeted with breathtaking views of Edinburgh Castle, the Scott Monument, and the Balmoral Hotel, with the Firth of Forth and surrounding hills in the distance. The view is especially spectacular during sunrise or sunset when the city is bathed in golden light. The hike to Calton Hill is a perfect way to appreciate Edinburgh’s beauty, combining nature, history, and breathtaking scenery all in one. #100waysoftravel #uktrip
