Overview

A squiggly lollipop shape walk, with approx 99% of it being in open countryside. After a short walk from the start point, we will join the disused Shieldhill mineral railway line to California. After a short meander around the Community Woodland lying between California and Shieldhill we will retrace our steps along the disused railway line returning to the start point.

I am changing the start time to 10:15, to allow anyone who wishes to take the Prentice Westwood bus, service number F1 to Maddiston. The bus leaves Linlithgow Cross @ 09:45.

If travelling by bus please call me on 07769040451 to let me know and I will meet you at Maddiston bus turning circle, for the short walk to the Golf Centre (see below).
