BY CAR

Restoration Yard is located in Dalkeith Country Park. If you are driving to Restoration Yard, there are two car parks within the Park for you to use. There is a daily £3 parking fee. All funds raised from the car parking charge will be invested directly into improving parking facilities and creating an enhanced visitor experience for all. Find out more about parking at Dalkeith Country Park.

You can easily get to the Park from the Edinburgh city bypass. Take the exit for Dalkeith from the Sheriffhall Roundabout on to Old Dalkeith Road. Turn left shortly after this into King’s Gate. You’ll drive through a long stretch of woodland (watch out for deer and other wildlife that call the park their home) before coming to some signs to Restoration Yard. The postcode is EH22 1ST.

Please note if you're in a larger vehicle, this entrance has a height restriction of 2.7 metres. Please do not attempt to drive through this entrance if you are unsure your vehicle will fit - it's a historic listed entrance. Large vehicles and deliveries can use our Town Gate entrance off Dalkeith's High Street, postcode EH22 2NA. Thanks.
