Walk: Swanning around Lanark Loch
South Lanarkshire | Lanark | Short walk | ★★
[Lanark Loch] |
Just outside the attractive market town of Lanark lies Lanark Country Park. With a pretty loch, hungry swans and an excellent restaurant (the Inn on the Loch, with surely the biggest menu for miles around), all the ingredients for a simple afternoon amble are present, with bumper boats in summer and a large adventure playground making it a good place to bring younger ones too. "Ice may be slippery" warns a faded sign near the end - rather obvious, but this is a good option in all seasons.
