About Soul Water Sauna Dalkeith Country Park
To reach the saunas, walk through Restoration Yard, cross the footbridge, head past Go Ape and go through the metal gate; Black Bear and Wandering Bear stand in the field on the left. Ancient woodland and the River Esk surround the field. Afterwards the operator points visitors on to coffee at Restoration Yard, the woodland trails, or Fort Douglas for a family day out in the same park.
