Castles/national trust estate walks

[The Blue Merle]

So just spent the day at balmoral castle, didn’t get to see the Queen I’m afraid.
Had a great day walking around the massive estate and checking out her little holiday pad!

Parking £3 for the day
Entrance £15

I done all 4 walks (map attached), the green walk is the best for views of the castle. It’s a little steep going up but you don’t need to be super fit! I did walk about 8 miles doing it all though.

Spent about 5hrs exploring, well worth the visit. It wasn’t very busy but I was there first thing.

Cool place, did you get a fridge magnet (as they don’t do stickers).
