 Angling and butterflies |
Townhead Road Coatbridge Glasgow ML5 2HD United Kingdom +44 123 642 2257 |
One of several country parks surrounding Glasgow, Drumpellier was a private estate until 1919 and has superb angling facilities. Fishing in the two freshwater lochs is not all it has to offer though. The 500 acre park also has a butterfly house during summer months, a visitor center beside the main gates, a golf course, football pitches and lots of woodland and heathland to wander through. Small rowing boats and canoes are available for hire but many people enjoy more restful leisure pursuits such as feeding the flocks of ducks, swans and geese which congregate on the water.

A huge variety of leisure activities |
366 Hamilton Road Motherwell Glasgow ML1 3ED United Kingdom +44 169 826 6155 |
This 1,100-acre park is in the Clyde Valley just outside Glasgow, but it certainly justifies a trip as you could happily spend a lifetime here. Thousands of visitors a year come to enjoy everything from sailing on Strathclyde Loch to birdwatching in the woodland and wetlands. There is a well-equipped campsite and facilities for many sports on both land and water, including horseriding, orienteering, coarse angling, football, hockey, windsurfing, water skiing and Canadian canoeing. You'll also find M & D's, Scotland's theme park. Review © 2007, Wcities |
