Holyrood Park is located in the heart of Edinburgh, about 1 mile to the east of Edinburgh Castle. Paid parking can be found near the Palace of Holyroodhouse on the north end of Holyrood. Various paths connect to the road that wraps around the park. Though hilly, the road and sidewalk that encircle the park are accessible by bike, scooter, and wheelchair. The rest of the park is rocky, slippery and steep, thus not suitable for wheelchairs.
Walking around the main road of Holyrood will take about 45 tot 60 minutes depending on your pace. However, there is also Arthur's Seat at the centre of the park, which is a trek in of itself, taking about 40 minutes from bottom of the park to top, depending on your pace.
