Overview

A leisurely walk through the tranquil Bellsquarry Woods, returning along paths beside the Murieston Water back to the start. These are two hidden gems with a magical atmosphere & interesting history to discover along the way. There will be plenty to see with many wildflowers, varied wildlife, an orchard, ponds & we will be surrounded by birdsong & the sounds of the river as its as it meanders on its journey through Murieston valley to reach Calderwood where it meets the Linhouse Water before going on to join the River Almond.

Our walk will begin from Livingston South Railway Station car park & on through Bankton Mains Park to reach Bellsquarry Woods.
