Welcome to Lanarkshire ScotlandOnce
Scotland's industrial powerhouse, North Lanarkshire's heavy industries
are now consigned to history and the area boasts a range of attractions
and activity centres well worth exploring. More of the area's history can be discovered at Motherwell Heritage Centre, which tells the story of North Lanarkshire. The centre's use of hands-on technology, with talking figures, recreated streets and foundry scenes really brings the industrial hey-day of the area to life. The Forth and Clyde Canal - the region's main transport artery during the Industrial Revolution - has recently been re-opened to small vessels and you can book day-trips in a covered and heated passenger cruiser, the MV 'Voyager'. If your preference is for enjoying the fresh air, you can choose from a number of parks and estates to explore. The largest in the area is Strathclyde Park which offers a range of land- and water-based activities together with plenty of scenic walks. It's also home to M&D's theme park, a huge fairground with indoor and outdoor rides and games for the whole family, not to mention the worlds first spinning roller coaster! Other popular outdoor spots include Motherwell's Dalzell Park and the Baron's Haugh Nature reserve, Coatbridge's Drumpellier Country Park, and Kilsyth's Colzium-Lennox estate, with historic Colzium House and 60 acres of parkland. The grounds of the estate are the setting for the mid-August Kilsyth International Carnival, an increasingly popular one-day music and cultural festival. The North Calder Heritage Trail starts just by Summerlee and 16 km of purpose-built paths take you past Airdrie to Hillend Reservoir and the Glasgow-Edinburgh cycle route also passes between Coatbridge and Airdrie. Airdrie boasts one of Scotland's three public observatories, part of
the town's library in Wellwynd. Accommodation around Lanarkshire
