Craiglockhart Woods is part of a wild and beautiful spot within the City of Edinburgh, less than three miles from Princes Street. There is an abundance of flora (and fauna) in the area, with hills, a very large pond, a stream, and – of course – lots of trees.
It is part of the Craiglockhart Hills Urban Widlife Site – a local nature reserve (LNR) – which includes most of Easter Craiglockhart hill. The LNR comprises woodlands and meadow with magnificent views over Edinburgh, Fife and the Pentland Hills from the top the hill and is an oasis of calm and beauty in the bustling city of Edinburgh.
The LNR is jointly managed by the City of Edinburgh Council (CEC), the Craighouse Partnership and The Friends of Craiglockhart Woods and Nature Trail Group (FCWNT).
