Beecraigs Country Park

Just three miles south of historic Linlithgow, nestled high in the scenic Bathgate Hills, West Lothian Council caters for a wide range of leisure and recreational interests within its 370 hectare (913 acre) Country Park. The Countryside Ranger Service will help you to both enjoy your visit and understand the needs of the countryside. Groups are recommended to arrange their visit with the Ranger Service well in advance.

Begin your visit at the Park Centre, a distinctive log cabin where advice, information, crafts, farm sales and refreshments are available.There are so many things to experience throughout the year - the life cycle of the trout and the majesty of the red reed, relaxing picnics, and country sports such as archery, orienteering and fly-fishing.

Miles of walks and trails criss-cross through the woodlands. Bycling and horse-riding is welcome on surfaced routes. Information boards at each car park assist you with your choice of activity. A walk to the top of Cockleroy Hill is well worth the effort, offering panoramic views to Goat Fell on the Isle of Arran.
