Took friends here for the first time yesterday for lunch. The Xmas section is sparse and coming to a end. The lunch was fantastic chicken and rice soup with a roll, mint slice I even got cakes to take away. Silverburch is my favourite garden centre but this one by far does the best lunch.

Based on a dog walking perspective. Lovely park for a leisurely stroll with the dogs. Only thing I would say would be to avoid the quieter areas at the back of the park behind the theme park. A lot of weird men hang about here and have come across a few strange goings on in the past, things that shouldn’t be happening in daylight in a public park. Needless to say, I stick to the paths round the Loch now. I wouldn’t recommend letting your kids run loose in the more wooded areas. The council really need to get something done about this.

We are more than a Garden Centre. We have 44,000 square feet of different departments which give interest all year round. We have 9000 sq feet of antiques and our 150 seater coffee shop serves all home made food by our friendly helpful staff

This is a massive facility selling everything from plants to antiques to kitchens to wedding hats to walking aids to urns for your ashes. In all they claim it to be 44,000 square feet, and it does take some time to get around it. Thankfully, and this is the best thing about it, there is a cafe area, which is well laid out with nice tables and decent Seating, and their coffee was really good.

Beautiful grounds with stunning views, a fantastic regular programme of holistic/spiritual events, such amazing wholesome food and best of all..the people who live there (or come to stay there)..are so friendly and really go out of their way to make your visit extra special. You instantly feel like part of their community. They offer a huge range of events/workshops/programmes to nurture your being...and you always come away feeling connected and centred. It's one of my favourite places with the best people ...I can't rate it enough...you have to experience the love of it for yourself!

Reviewed By Lambence - York, United Kingdom
Dropped in midweek as a couple with our 18mth old. Very impressed. Clearly a lot of work has been done furnishing the restaurant. It really works with an understated nautical theme. It's very smart, has a lovely outdoor area. Inside it feels spacious and comfortable with large windows looking over a church parkland and stream. Our waiter was friendly and efficient. We had 2 courses from a pre theatre type menu and the cooking and presentation was of a high standard. Lots of meat and fish grill type options and traditional puds e.g. sticky toffee. There was a nice touch with the children's menu incorporated into a colouring/activity sheet. Price is moderate around £20 a head for 2 courses and a drink pre theatre - a la carte looked a little pricier.

The calderglen park has a lot to offer , you can spend a hole day there without it costing a fortune.
So what have they got to offer you , there are some great well laid out nature walks, good exercise and great for walking the dog, there is load of safe space for children to have fun and various structures for them to play on, it has also got a coffeeshop that is open at certain times.
The zoo is worth a walk about , with a good variety of wild & pet animals to see, you have to pay to enter the zoo, but it is worth it. the park also play host for an assortment of events throughout the year. Enjoy your day there .

10. Craignethan Castle
Overall Ratings
4 based on 48 reviews
Reviewed By motorcar1 - Dublin Ireland
This ruined Castle is in South Lanarkshire, Scotland about an hour from Glasgow. It is situated above the River Nathan a tributary of the River Clyde. It was built in the first half of the 16th century as a sophisticated artillery fortification, with many unusual defensive features.
You get a fabulous view of the Castle as you stop in the car park. The Castle is a ruin but there is still plenty left to explore, stairways and passages. The walk from the car park is handy but the return trip is uphill. Entry us £4.50.
This Castle has lots of connections, it was built by Sir James Hamilton of Finnart. Sir Walter Scott is supposed to have visited Craignethan Castle.
