Neighborhood
About the neighborhood
We live in a quiet Crescent with a central grassy area with trees. Close by 2 mins walk is a lovely large park with two children's play areas and plenty of open space.
5 minutes walk takes you to Leith Walk, a long street with a whole range of bars, restaurants and cafes. Leith is a bustling neighbourhood and has been described as 'the most exciting foodie destination in the UK right now.' https://www.cntraveller.com/article/why-leith-is-the-most-exciting-foodie-destination-in-the-uk-right-now?ref=edinburghminute.com
A further 15 minutes walk takes you to the centre of Edinburgh. Where you will find a range of great galleries and museums which are free to enter. We are also well situated being close to Edinburgh's cycle paths. These allow peaceful walks towards the trendy area Stockbridge, which has attractions such as The Royal Botanical Gardens and the very popular Dean Village.
A short journey in the car and you can visit some of Scotland's magnificent beaches and the Pentland hills. Further afield, we are a three hour drive from Aviemore in the Cairngorms National Park and the Highlands. Which is perfect if you are a keen walker.
