Overview

This circular walk will take us through the various woodlands of Penicuik alongside the Esk and some of its feeder burns. We climb uphill for great views of the surrounding countryside and visit the landscaped grounds of Penicuik House. If time allows we will finish with a cup of tea in the excellent community café.

Boots and poles advised. The woodlands could be muddy after rain.
