A lovely woodland & riverside walk starting in East Calder. We will cross a dramatic viaduct before walking through the former Almondell Estate steeped in history & natural beauty & crossing several other notable bridges spanning the River Almond on our return to the start point.

Places are limited to 20 people so it is essential that you book a place with the walk leader & please state at the time of booking if you would like to join the car share, otherwise it will be assumed that you are meeting us at the start.
