Overview

Come and join us for a leisurely walk in a lovely rural area. We start at Lanark bus station and from there a short stroll to Lanark Loch Park before skirting the scenic Lanark Loch. From there we amble up a short incline and enter a path to thread through an ancient wood. On leaving the wood we return along a grassy area adjacent to the former Lanark racecourse to emerge at the park where there are toilet facilities and refreshments.
