Arthur's Seat: Edinburgh beauty spot from Netflix's One Day named Britain's most ‘scenic’ walking trail

Outdoor experts at Millets, an outdoor clothing retailer, have turned to Tripadvisor to analyse how many times some of Britain’s favourite walks have been reviewed as “beautiful”, “pretty” and “picturesque”.

With 1,394 reviews praising its beauty, Arthur’s Seat earned the top spot.

Located around a mile from the city centre, the hike to the summit is relatively easy and rewards walkers with sweeping views over the capital and the surrounding Scottish landscape.

For the best experience, it’s advised that visitors arrive at sunrise or sunset, when the city lights and surrounding hills glow.

The gradual hike to the summit takes around 45 minutes, and once at the top, you're treated to 360-degree panoramic views over the entire city, the Firth of Forth, and the surrounding countryside.

Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland came in second place, with 974 reviews describing it as a beautiful walk. Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol takes third place, with 917 walkers highlighting its beauty.

Arthur’s Seat features in popular Netflix book adaptation

Arthur’s Seat provided one of the most iconic locations in Netflix’s recent adaptation of David Nicholl's bestselling novel One Day.

The ancient volcano forms the main peak of the group of hills in Edinburgh city centre within Holyrood Park.

The rugged hills are where One Day’s Emma and Dex first venture to enjoy the stunning views of the city after meeting for the first time, playing a pivotal part in their enchanting story.

Natalie Wolfenden, author and outdoor enthusiast at Millets, said: “With spring on the way, it’s the ideal time to tackle some of the UK’s most rewarding walking routes. The longer evenings give you more opportunity to soak up the scenery and embrace the season.

“Whether you’re heading to Edinburgh or Cornwall, a little preparation before you head out can make it even more enjoyable.

“Sturdy walking boots are essential, and I would always recommend dressing in warm, breathable baselayers that can be adjusted as the weather changes. A light jacket, hat, and gloves can still come in handy on cooler days.

“Planning your route ahead of time also helps you make the most of the lighter evenings, while keeping some flexibility means you can adapt if spring showers do appear. With the right preparation, there’s no better way to welcome in the new season.”
