Overview

Join us for a walk exploring the hidden history of Oakbank, once a bustling industrial area with its own village, both of which have since disappeared & the area reclaimed by nature. Stroll through a beautifully landscaped environment where wild lupins will be in full bloom, adding a vibrant splash of colour to the former Oakbank Bing.

Starting from Livingston South Railway Station car park, we'll follow the Linhouse Circuit path to Oakbank, taking in stunning views across the county before returning alongside Murieston Water back to the start. Don’t miss this chance to enjoy a wildflower show and uncover the fascinating past of this unique area!
