Overview

Join us for a walk at Beecraigs Country Park. The Park is nestled in the Bathgate Hills and looks down over Linlithgow. From the Visitor Centre we will walk round the Loch and along a network of woodland paths leading to Cockleroy Hill (278m). The walk to the top of Cockleroy is well worth the effort with great views on a clear day. There is also a Trig Point and a view indicator. If you don't want to climb the hill there are seats/benches in the carpark near by.
