"Be enticed to the historic, magical enchantments you will find in the Heart of Midlothian"

Great for Children Attraction

This is a wonderful place to play for children and adults alike. You'll find this lovely country park near Gorebridge in Midlothian is fantastic day out, especially for children. The park boasts ranger guided walks, 9 hole golf course, an adventure playground and "Giants Chairs". It's the ideal location for a family picnic or a relaxing stroll.

You can also visit the on site Garden Centre which has some superb plants along with a nice selection of gifts. While you are browsing, why not let the children look at the Guinea Pigs and Rabbits which are housed within the Garden Centre.

Dalkeith Country Park at Dalkeith Palace

Dalkeith Country Park ( www.dalkeithcountrypark.com) ,in the grounds of Dalkeith Palace, has a great playground for children. It includes exciting Aerial Ropeways, Highlevel Walkways, Giant Slides and a Wildwest Fort. Naturally it is supervised and childsafe. Open from April to end September - there is also an attractive Visitor Center with a coffee shop and a picnic area. At times you can see Highland Cattle in the field next to the playground.

The woodland walks at the palace are beautful and can also help get rid of that excess "childenergy" or you can just de-stress and wander through the woods and talk to the trees.
