Camping in Forth Valley

·

Within easy reach of Glasgow and Edinburgh, the deep glens, valleys and miles of canals of the Forth Valley are steeped in history and heritage and offer plenty of opportunities for adventures. The region is typically considered to include the city of Stirling, site of some of Scotland’s most dramatic historical events, and much of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, where stunning landscapes, dotted with shimmering lochs and tall mountains, form picture-perfect settings for outdoor activities. This is a prime summer holiday destination, but an autumn visit will let you dodge the crowds (especially around Loch Lomond).

*PLEASE NOTE THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR WEEKEND BOOKINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. CAMPING OPEN FROM 1st May to End August* Cleghorn Farm is a mixed farm just north east of the market town of Lanark. Comprised of 250 acres of fields and woodland and bounded to the south by Mouse Water, it is a beautiful spot to get away from it all without having to leave it all behind if you don't want to. The fields are grazed and cultivated but the woodlands are much as they were at the end of the last ice age with spectacular walks along Cleghorn Glen with the chance to see badgers, bats, deer and all manner of birds among the towering pine and beech trees. The Mouse Water (pronounced moose) tumbles down along the edge of the farm and has some glorious pools for swimming, shallows for paddling and some spectacular water falls before it joins the River Clyde, all a gentle walk from the sites.
