West Princes Street Gardens

Princes Street Gardens runs along one side of Princess Street, one of the main thoroughfares of Edinburgh, with amazing views over to Edinburgh Castle. The Garden is split into two separate parks, East and West Gardens. This review is for the West Gardens. If you have a mobility impairment you may find the East Garden easier to get around, please see separate listening. The West Gardens for being such an important public space in the capital is shockingly very inaccessible. While its very easy to get to, it is very difficult to get around, with only some step free paths being safely accessible, as the gardens lie in a valley.

All on the flat and directed by stewards right onto platform.

I really enjoy walking through West Princes Street Gardens! The paths are wide and smooth and you can avoid the steep hills into the garden by entering via King's Stables Road. In the summer months they have deck chairs dotted around on the grass.
