Walk preview
Step 1: Park begins right off Waverly train station. We began walk here, although its accessible from anywhere around.
Step 2: Park is surrounded by hilly neighbourhood, so from down there you are really struck with the views above!
Step 3: Footpath often leads into leafy hideaways. 🌳🌳🍃
Step 4: 👆Edinburgh castle above!!
Step 5: Sit down almost anywhere you want! Make sure to bring some peanuts, local squirrels love those!! 🐿🐿🐿
Step 6: But watch out for these guys. They'll grab any food from you if they are given a chance.
