Overview

Walk will start from MIBC and head into the Dalkeith Country Park for an easy stroll round the grounds, though 'The Queen's Canopy' and along the Esk Rivers to their confluence (approx. 3.5 miles including the return leg to start point). At this point walkers can either do a further half mile or head to Restoration Yard for Tea/Coffee and amenities.

This is a mostly flat walk with 1 or 2 slight inclines and should be manageable for most. Only hazards are exposed tree roots and if wet some muddy patches.
