What is the best time to visit Clyde Valley Woodlands National Nature Reserve?

The best time to visit Clyde Valley Woodlands National Nature Reserve is from May to October. Spring sees the area carpeted with woodland flowers, such as bluebells and primrose, and the air filled with the song of birds including wood warblers and long-tailed tits. In summer you may see great spotted woodpeckers, tawny owls, badgers and roe deer. Autumn sees the leaves on the trees turn to beautiful shades of orange, yellow and red. The reserve is walking distance from Lanark town centre, which is connected to Glasgow by train. Be sure to follow Scottish Outdoor Access Code while visiting the reserve.
