Overview

An easy walk along mostly paved paths around the village of Wester Inch near Bathgate which was created twenty years ago to meet the local demand for housing in the area. On this walk you will learn what wildlife to look out for, how nature thrives alongside residential housing & how it is continuing to be looked after. You will also discover what was here before the village!
