Untitled. Edinburgh itineraries. Morning One thing you quickly notice is that Edinburgh is hilly: great for views, tough on the legs. While you’re still fresh, head up to Edinburgh Castle (1) (edinburghcastle.gov.uk; adult £15, child £8.50), which looms over the city like a benevolent presence. Built on an extinct volcano, this is both a fortress and royal palace. Highlights include the “Honours of Scotland” (the UK’s oldest royal regalia), the mighty Mons Meg cannon (capable of firing a ball over two miles), the Stone of Destiny coronation seat, and the Great Hall’s hammerbeam roof. Join one of the free guided tours. Afterwards, head down the Royal Mile, past the 16th- and 17th-century tenement buildings (now bursting with jolly, tartan-filled tourist shops) to the Palace of Holyroodhouse (2), the current royal residence, opposite the striking-looking Scottish Parliament building (scottish.parliament.uk).

Best Drives in The Lake District Scenic drives The Lake District Cumbria. A great base from which to enjoy some of the best scenic drives in The Lake District would be Ambleside. Most of the valleys and roads in central Lakeland radiate from the village and it has an array of excellent accommodation. Ambleside Back Kirkstone Pass to Pooley Bridge Directly from Ambleside the steeper of the two south approaches to Kirkstone pass summit rises steeply out of the valley. This popular road heads over to Ullswater and reward you with superb views. Be sure to take the obvious opportunity to stop one third the way up, there is a small area to park on the right with views back south towards Windermere and Grizedale Forest. Towards the summit of Kirkstone Pass the last stretch, named The Struggle, is a zig zag and very steep section. Take a break at the summit from which you can experience some splendid mountain scenery surveying Wansfell to the south and Red Screes above.
