Flat is literally 100 meters to Edinburgh's gem of Holyrood Park and a chance to walk, run, picnic, and (highly recommended) make the short climb to Arthur's Seat for an extraordinary view of the city. At time of writing, there is considerable roadworks so if arriving by car, expect long detours around the city centre. "Free Parking" is on the street and quite limited for the demand of both local residents and park visitors.
