Overview

This walk will leave from Uphall Railway Station Carpark and head towards Almondell & Calderwood Country Park, taking in some of the Heritage Trail there. Hopefully there will be lovely autumn colours on our walk. We will stop at the Visitor Centre for a break. Please bring a drink and snack.
