The Pentland Hills Regional Park is a great place to find out about
farming. Look out for special Pentland
Hills Producers signs dotted around the Park. They will be happy
to give you information about how their animals thrive on the hill’s
natural assets to bring this local produce to your plate. You can
buy lamb and beef from them directly.
Do remember though, with farm animals around you must keep your dogs on
a leash. You could also discover new places to walk, run, cycle, horse
ride or even orienteer, check out our map
or routes
and trails page for some ideas.
The Pentlands provide you have with an opportunity to discover Lothian’s
fantastic landscape with a close look at the rocks under you feet
and the views all around. See our geology
page for more details.
The land has been shaped over time by monumental forces with the rocks
that remain often crafted into drystane dykes. Across the Pentlands, drystane
dykes not only frame the views but are apartment blocks to a whole community
of wildlife
inhabitants such as stoats, voles, mosses and lichens.
