Our area holds many secret walks not many people know about! Ancient forests, Walled gardens, The Monkland canal was born here with the North Calder water running alongside it. Ancient forests that hide mystical ruins of the mansion house of the Woodhall estate, an ancient walled garden and much more. We would like to turn our local green space into a nature park.
