West Princes Street Gardens

I walked my husband very slowly in his manual wheelchair down one of the paved paths from Princes St, and decided that was a last resort to get back out. Looking at Google maps wasn't very helpful for finding an accessible way out. Came to Euans Guide and it mentioned Kings Stable Road, and we were able to figure it out. So in or out we would recommend heading west on Princes St to Lothian Road. That's where you can fairly easily get into the park. Be advised though that they do lock the area around the band stand so you do have to go up and around that center area of the park if you want to explore the whole thing.

Princes Street Gardens runs along one side of Princess Street, one of the main thoroughfares of Edinburgh, with amazing views over to Edinburgh Castle. The Garden is split into two separate parks, East and West Gardens. This review is for the West Gardens. If you have a mobility impairment you may find the East Garden easier to get around, please see separate listening. The West Gardens for being such an important public space in the capital is shockingly very inaccessible. While its very easy to get to, it is very difficult to get around, with only some step free paths being safely accessible, as the gardens lie in a valley.

All on the flat and directed by stewards right onto platform.
