Secret garden in
Duddingston Village

Why locals love it

Dr Neil's Garden is a peaceful wee oasis next to Duddingston Loch, perfect for romantic walks and big thoughts. Entry is free and the garden is open to all (who find it). Ask a local and there is a high chance they do not know about this place unless they live in Duddingston Village or have a particular interest in secret gardens.

Why you should visit it

Visit a secret garden which is a challenge to find! Enter through the double gates of Duddingston Manse on Old Church Lane - might feel you are trespassing at this point but don't stop. Keep right and follow the path to another door which will lead you to the garden.
