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

Railway Tavern

Reviewed By missmorven

Excellent bar if your waiting for a train, this is my second visit to the railway tavern due to the sporadic timetable of trains. Both times the staff have been super friendly and it has a nice buzzing atmosphere with places to sit round the bar so if your alone you don’t feel too out of place. I expect the prices may be higher than some of the other pubs near by but I’m not surprised. It’s lovely inside, music playing, racing on the screens and nice decor. Next time I’m stranded in Motherwell I’ll be back.

Discover Amazonia

Reviewed By LisaAnnsReviews - Okinawa City, Japan

We visited this afternoon with my 8 year son and he LOVED it. A wide variety of animals available to see (bats, snakes, coy carp, turtles, parrots, tamarin monkeys, ants, frogs, butterflies etc) and interesting talks held by their keepers. During the handling session my son got to hold a Royal Python, Russian Turtle and a Hissing Cockroach! A must do experience for all animal lovers! It's VERY hot inside so do NOT wear hot clothes such as wooly jumpers!
