Almond Valley Heritage Centre

A family-friendly museum on a peaceful riverside site with friendly farm animals, working watermill and interactive displays. Explore fields and woodland walks, join in daily demonstrations and activities, and let the kids go wild in playgrounds, pedal carts and trampolines. Take a trip by tractor, ride the narrow-gauge railway, explore the museum, or bounce around in the indoor soft play area. There is lots to see and do at Almond Valley indoors and out.

What a great day! Loved it!! So much to do and see, lots of little things to do, dress up, colour in, picnic, tractor ride, brush the ponies, sand pits with bones, rabbit, ducks with babies, birds, slide, play areas, museum. And all in the rain!! Obviously catered for the Scottish weather when they planned this park out. Will definitely be back!

We went on one of the volunteer-run trips out to the Avon Aqueduct and back - at £10pp including tea/coffee and biscuits, this is wonderful, relaxing and high value for money trip. The volunteers are knowledgeable and engaging - answered all our questions and pointed out particularly beautiful and interesting sights. There were all ages on our boat (the tiny kids were well behaved, but it is, perhaps, quite a long sit in one place for the under 5s), and I know some of the older travellers appreciated the loo on board!

This is a cafe with a small art gallery. Good place to stop after going to Linlithgow Palace. It is right outside the Palace.
