Popular with families, walkers, cyclists (Route 75 runs through the Park), runners, horse riders and community groups, the Country Park is enjoyed throughout the year for its history, scenery and displays of snowdrops, daffodils, azalea and rhododendron. The Park has good links with other paths and greenspaces in West Lothian.
The Country Park is a wildlife haven with roe deer, fox, heron, otters and woodpeckers all making their home here. Calderwood SSSI is an ancient woodland and a contrast to Almondell. Explore the trails and discover bluebells and fascinating fungi.
