World of Wings Birds of Prey Centre

We are Scotland's largest birds of prey centre. There are over 70 birds to see and fantastic flying displays every day. Our birds include eagles, falcons, owls, hawks, vultures and parrots. We are open from 10am till 5pm and the displays are at 12 noon and 3pm daily. The centre is open 7 days a week all year round. We do experiences where you can handle and fly the birds (booking required). Come and sample our home cooking at The Cabin Cafe.

Reviewed By penguinbairn - Falkirk, United Kingdom

Went along purely on a whim this afternoon and was very impressed indeed. I had read about World of Wings on social media and planned to go along at some point. Today was that day. The flying display was excellent - the staff were really relaxed and informative, and we had the opportunity to see owls, hawks, eagles and even a stork in flight! Will definitely be back.

Summerlee - Museum of Scottish Industrial Life

Reviewed By christine0253 - Glasgow, United Kingdom

We used to take our own children to summerlee when they were younger and now we take our 3 grandchildren who love it just as much. There are plenty of things that the kids can get involved with and get their hands on and they love the tram to the old cottages and mine The cottages are all done up for various rooms through history which is really interesting and the children love everything about them. This museum is well worth the trip

Cumbernauld Theatre

Thousands of people come to Cumbernauld Theatre each year to see wonderful shows, to enjoy a great night out, to celebrate, to join in, to be entertained, to discuss (and occasionally to enjoy a good argument!), to share a night with friends, to enjoy a good conversation, to be part of your community. Our Theatre rightly has a national reputation for excellence and innovation matched with a commitment to our community. Right now, we’re starting the process of building a partnership of consensus to establish Cumbernauld Theatre as the premiere central belt theatre in Scotland.

Garrion Bridges Garden & Antique Centre

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

Reviewed By estherohara - Motherwell, United Kingdom

I visit regularly with friends, with family, and sometimes solo. The garden centre is moderately sized- plants are always well cared for and staff couldn’t be more helpful, including on one occasion searching out online sources for a plinth for our sundial (as they didn’t stock them). The hat and handbag shop is also excellent and well worth a look. Sorry to see that recently the wee jewellery outlet has closed down as it always had lovely items and a very pleasant and helpful owner. Highlights though are the wool shop which is well stocked and efficiently run by lovely ladies who go the extra mile (I work in the nhs was even gifted early in the pandemic a batch of hand knitted and washable straps for our face masks which went round the back and made them fit better, which the owner had made as other nhs customers had complained how the masks gaped). Great wools, patterns, dried and artificial flowers and even dolls house furniture. And in non covid times, a wee jar of delicious sweeties at the till that you can dip into. And of course the gem of the antiques shop. Totally superb. Staff are fantastic, range is great and excellent quality - I have numerous pieces (furniture, ceramics, artwork, jewellery crystal, woodwork) purchased there. You can spend hours pottering round. Some very unusual, well priced and at times rare pieces. Pandemic restrictions are well observed. The restaurant has a great range and is very well run. The car park is manned at busy times to help you find a space. They have lovely cards, a great pet shop and old fashioned sweetie shop.... I could go on and on. It’s a family run concern I gather, and they get to know and greet regulars in the various sections. A great afternoon out. Just what we all need as we start to emerge from the covid darkness! If you are in the Clyde Valley don’t miss it!

National Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes, Carfin Grotto

Reviewed By 10Korky10 - Stranraer, United Kingdom

I really can’t express how amazing this serene , beautifully kept place is. I only learned that it existed a couple of months ago as was in the area staying for a couple of nights with my husband. We wandered around the gardens in beautiful sunshine gasping at how wonderful Carfin grotto is. I caught mass in the chapel which made our visit even more special. I live 90 miles away but will be back. It is a free place to visit and I’ve been told there’s no more money to keep it open. We’d have happily have paid to visit. I pray that it dosent close

Enjoyed a lovely walk from the watersports centre around the loch and back took around an hour an a half and saw some of the lovely nature sights within the park and some lovely flaura and fauna.
