One of the highlights of this season is the opportunity to immerse oneself in the vibrant colours of autumn, and fortunately, Glasgow is surrounded by a plethora of parks and estates perfect for such an experience.
Among these is Chatelherault Country Park, located in Hamilton and just a 25-minute drive from Glasgow.
This park offers more than just a grand house and woodland walks; it also boasts beautiful riverside paths, an adventure playground for children, and even a farmer’s market.
Chatelherault Country Park, one of Scotland’s oldest and most exquisitely designed estates, is ideally suited for visitors, particularly families with pets, as there is so much to explore.
The estate features a striking country house complete with an in-house coffee shop for refreshments and stunning views.
Visitors can stroll around the immaculate greens or venture into the woodlands alongside the River Avon – perfect for adventurous children and energetic pets.
A must-see is the incredible Duke’s Bridge that spans the gorge below, offering breathtaking views that were hidden for years.
Here, you can marvel at the golds, reds, oranges, and yellows of the foliage, as well as the river below, reports Glasgow Live.
