Overview

A riverside walk exploring the quiet countryside west of Livingston with views of the Five Sisters Bing & Pentland Hills.

We will follow the River Almond passing the Almond Pools on our way to Easter Breich & return along the Breich Water. 

We may be fortunate to see/hear some birdlife along the river & on the pools & spot other wildlife which inhabits the woodland along the route.
