Visible from virtually any location in and around Edinburgh, The Pentland Hills Regional Park is a range of stunning medium-sized hills stretching from South West Edinburgh to Biggar and the Upper Clysdale. Offering over 10,000 hectares of breathtaking walks and scenery, the area appeals to every kind of nature lover.
The park is an immensely popular destination for walkers, with an 100 kilometre network of marked paths catering to a wide variety of activity levels.
For the more adventurous, the region offers almost every outdoor activity you can think of, from mountain biking and horse riding to golf and orienteering. They even offer pony trekking and alpaca walks for the little ones!
If you’re looking for something that only the Pentland Hills can offer, look no further than the north tip of the park where you can find Midlothian Snowsports Centre, the UK’s largest artificial ski slope.
Offering year round ski and snowboarding sessions, the centre promises to provide all of the fun and adrenaline you’d hope for from a nature-filled getaway.
