Overview

What secrets lie beneath the streets of Newyearfield? On this leisurely evening walk we will uncover a place where royal whispers, strange traditions & long forgotten stories still linger - This is a side of Livingston you've likely never noticed.....until now.

Along the route are many signs that spring has finally arrived & views across to the Pentlands can be enjoyed from the higher points along the route as our return route takes us through Howden Park.
