The countryside in the city! A beautiful local nature reserve between Morningside and Liberton. There are many varied habitats - mixed woodlands, a stream, a duckpond, steep rocky slopes, wild flower meadows. Climb up to the grassy summit of the hill for an unbeatable view of the city. There are walks to suit all levels of fitness - there's even a carpark next to the observatory at the top of the hill if you want to see the view without the climb! A visitor centre in the middle of the Hermitage provides information on the wealth of wildlife in the reserve. The reserve is easy to get to by local buses.
