Dalkeith Country Park ( Blue Bell Walk 1 ) Traditional Cache

Meandering through a carpet of blue in the Spring is an unforgetable experience. This walk winds its way through a woodland of Spanish Chestnut and Beech. The forest floor is carpeted with bluebells, wild garlic and primroses, and is a fantastic site in the Spring time. The path leads along the side of the river and up towards the King’s Park fields. Look around you and you can see the remnants of the old parkland tree planting in the Monkey Puzzles and Giant Sequoias. The path finishes at the cross roads and on your right you can see a magnificent Spanish Chestnut, planted by George IV in 1822.
