It is home to picturesque landscapes, including the scenic Clyde Valley and Falls of Clyde, ideal for hiking and nature walks. If you’re a history enthusiast, you can explore New Lanark, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which showcases 18th-century industrial heritage and Robert Owen’s social reform movement.
For families, Strathclyde Country Park provides outdoor activities like cycling, boating and picnicking, while Chatelherault Country Park offers both historic architecture and beautiful walking trails. Lanarkshire’s charming towns, like Hamilton and Motherwell, are great for exploring local culture, shopping and dining.
