I visited Arthur's seat last September and had to climb to the top of Arthur's seat! As a key landmark in Scotland, I made sure I had time to hike the 251m hill. Allocate at least two hours to climb up and down, and wear comfortable footwear! Remember to wrap up warm as it gets windy at the top! It is conveniently located to lots of nearby attractions like Calton hill and the Royal Mile. #edinburgh #scotland #hike

#ediinsider We were looking for places to go when we were in Edinburgh of Scotland. After searching, we decided to go Arthur's Seat. Thus, off we went. Arthur's Seat is an ancient volcano which is the main peak of the group of hills in Edinburgh, Scotland, which form most of Holyrood Park It has an elevation of 251 metres and a prominence of 174 metres. When we reached there, we were actually quite tired. Thus we didn't went up the hill and just took some photos at the bottom. Even though we didn't climb up to the summit, it looked spectacular from below too. It must have been nice to look down from the summit.

Arthur's Seat

It's still the last month of 2023, climbing Arthur's Seat; the mountain is not high, but because there is no human repair activity interference, the whole climbing experience is quite exciting - no stairs, many broken stones, steep mountains, accompanied by a bit of mud after the rain, it is slippery and difficult; but it is this pure nature that makes people feel the excitement after the summit! Descending the mountain is even more heroic, facing a large lawn that is green even in winter, just want to run and play on the lawn like a happy puppy Find a flat place, sit down, taste banana & chocolate cookies & water to replenish energy, while the eyes also fall on the distant sea and city, feeling the peace of time~

In this lifetime, you will never regret coming to Edinburgh.

Edinburgh is definitely a fairy city suitable for living. Ancient and mysterious architectural style, every shot is a big scene. 👍Most recommended: Arthur's Throne and Castle are two must-visit places. Watching the sunset on Arthur's Throne gives you a feeling of walking into Jay Chou's music video. I didn't go into the castle because there is a legend that touching the bricks of the castle will bring bad luck.

Arthur’s Seat

Address - Edinburgh EH16 5HX, United Kingdom Highlights - Hiking to mountain, Panoramic city view at the top Rating - 5/5 This hiking is one of the tour that taken most of the time as we got lost on the way there. So if you would like to visit there, I will recommend to your tour to be either your first stop or last stop. As it is located around 10 minutes walk from the Edinburgh Waverly Train station. Alright, as myself who have been there, I will suggest that you search for the route to walk to Dynamic Earth (a Science attraction) and from there, it is the starting point to hike on top of Arthur's seat. The hiking takes around 30 - 45 minutes depending on how fast you walk, likewise I would suggest to wear covered shoes and bring water along as the hiking is covered with stones - so beware! My friends and I didn't manage to hike towards the top of the mountain and we only hike at the point that we are able to see the panaromic view of Edinburgh. It is a good experience and the whole hiking will really takes around 2 - 3 hours so do take note! Lastly, reward yourself with some ice cream/ cooling drinks after you hike down the mountain. Usually there will be some food trucks at the meeting point/carpark area. #travelinspiration#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#bestislandtraveltowns#hiking#nationalpark

Edinburgh is the location for many movies, and the most impressive of them, many of them are shot in Arthur's Seat.
