Step back in time and enjoy woodland walks in this 18th-century designed landscape, with views across the River Forth.
As you take a relaxing stroll through the grounds, see what wildlife you can spot as you pass the Shell Grotto, Tea House and Ladies’ Walk. You may even be able to hear the birdsong of some of over 60 species of birds that call Newhailes home.
