Ellen's Glen+

Craigour Park Primary frequently use this area of woodland just off Gilmerton Road. It can be accessed by following Guardwell Glen around the back of Morrisons or through a gate where Ellen's Glen Road meets Gilmerton Road. It has a muddy trail path down to Burdiehouse Burn where pooh sticks can be played off the small bridge. If you keep to the right of the burn you come to an open area with widely spread trees, a large tree trunk and an embankment. Classes often use this area for art activities throughout the different seasons, physical activities and various topic linked activities. A muddy trail path circles the area and up and along the embankment making a perfect relay route for cross country training. The path and embankment can be used to set boundaries with classes working in the area.
