Blackhall is a prestigious residential area of the city which successfully combines city centre accessibility (approximately 2 miles) with a leafy suburban environment. The city's West End and Princes Street are readily accessible either on foot over Ravelston Dykes or via regular public transport services. In addition there are excellent local shopping facilities within a few minutes on foot on Craigcrook Road itself and at both the Craigleith Retail Outlet and Davidsons Mains Village, which are just a few minutes further. Craigleith plays host to a number of big names such as Marks & Spencer, Boots and Sainsbury. Davidsons Mains Village offers a selection of small independent shops, cafes, bars and a Tesco Metro. Educational facilities are first class. The local schools (Blackhall Primary and The Royal High School) have an excellent academic reputation and in the private sector Mary Erskine and Stewarts Melville Colleges, St. George's School for Girls, Edinburgh Academy and Fettes Academy are all within close proximity. Leisure options are as plentiful as they are diverse. There are two major art galleries, several golf clubs, a sailing club at Cramond, Blackhall Tennis Club, access to the city's cycle path network, a number of private health clubs and lovely woodland walks over Corstorphine Hill, all either within walking distance or within a short drive. Nearby Queensferry Road is a main arterial route linking the east and west sides of the city, as well as giving access to the central motorway network, the Queensferry Crossing and Edinburgh International Airport.
