Beautiful place and lively nature especially now in autumn 🍂. What a beauty and walkways. Very pleasant and peaceful with natural music of river water flowing 😌 👌. No words to express my experience being their as a nature lover. Best place for Loved ones to spend their time together walking along holding their hands.
Amazing find, a lovely walk. Can easily miss the split down the the river after going under the castle bridge.
Really nice place for a walk. Lovely walking trails. Very close to Roslin Chapel aswell, which is worth a look. Just had walk around perimeter as was with dog. Definitely worth a visit.
Fantastic walk. Parking not the best after and on the bend of road.
It’s a lovely open space to wander around, dotted with some interesting historical landmarks. Also, the river North Esk cuts its way through the landscape… and I do love a river.
We didn't do the whole walk just the one that takes you round by Rosslyn castle/chapel and along to Wallace cave. The car park is good size. The main car park has height of 2 metres or you can just park at the old works building car park. There is no electric car chargers. The paths are a mixture of grass and gravel and we're still very wet in some areas. The grass sections have a lot of nettles and brambles around ankle area. To get to the Wallace cave you go down a steep slope with steep drop at the side. When you get there for me it didn't feel like it was worth it and the walk back up was quite difficult to grip your feet. The Castle is a ruin but is still very impressive. As you walk towards the entrance, the wall is very low and has a sheer drop so be careful if you have adventourous kids. The views are really impressive out towards the glen. There is a private sign at the house of the castle and works sign up. You can walk round the outside of the castle to view more of the building, but the path is quite difficult and has lots of nettles. The castle could do with some information boards with how the castle looked and information of the history of it. We went by Rosslyn chapel but didn't go in. There is no toilets in the park. There is no food places either. There a few picnic tables about.
Always a great day in Roslin Glen. Great for picnics, fishing, swimming, woodland walks, castle visits and for Rosslyn Chapel. Family friendly and animal friendly. Please remember to take all your rubbish with you when you leave!
