Calderglen Country Park & Visitor Centre

Parks

East Kilbride

South Lanarkshire

Calderglen Country Park hosts an array of visitor attractions including a children’s zoo and tropical conservatory, gift shop, ornamental gardens, nature trails, play park, café, exhibition gallery and an 18-hole golf course.

The park runs alongside a scenic wooded glen, forged by the Rotten Calder River, a tributary of the River Clyde. The glen, which extends over 5km, has many waterfalls and other geological features and a popular spot for birdwatching. The northern section of the park is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

Calderglen Zoo opened in 1982 and is still home to over fifty different animal species, some of which are unfortunately critically endangered. The zoo is just around an acre in size, but here you will still be able to see meerkats, wallabies, coatis, otters and more charismatic creatures.

The park also has over eight miles of scenic nature trails, which both nature lovers and ramblers alike will enjoy. There is a café on site offering hot and cold beverages as well as hot and chilled food, but there are also picnic tables around the park, if dining al fresco with a packed lunch is something you prefer to do.

Directions

Entry to the park is clearly signposted and found on Strathaven Road (A726), approximately 2km from East Kilbride town centre.
