mugdock country park

The walks around Mugdock are fantastic with something to suit everyone, particularly the dog! The castle gives kids a great opportunity to explore, and the cafe provides a welcome treat at the end of the walk, or is a great place to meet people. The gift shop always has unusual and good value gifts.

Love the fact that you can borrow their mobility scooter and take it on a trip round the park. The office will provide you with a map showing the routes suitable for the scooter. Although I can only walk a very short distance I can now borrow the scooter and take my dog for huge walks!

Been here many a time with the family & friends, great walks around the country park & plenty of wonderful views. WII anti aircraft emplacement next to the Khyber car park, Mugdock castle,Craigend castle, garden centre & the visitor centre. With the kids play area & adventure play. lots to do & see for all the family.

Kids have always loved this place and it's still a favourite to walk the dog and have a catch up with family. Plenty of variation in where you can roam.

Great for a day out wether it be winter or summer, love the pond right down past the castle in summer, the wee cafe also does some good food

I live quite close to here and have never visited before. What a suprise. Not only some fabulous walks but this park is also steep in history. The park used to be a zoo and their are some nice stories in the cafe about the elephant that used to reside their.Their are good facilities that appear to be open all year round: a cafe, a tea-room, toilets, art gallery, gift shop, two castles, world war 2 battlements, lakes, a garden centre and even a theatre.I would highly recommend a visit to this country park. It is one of the best I have been in.

I visit this park about once a month, primarily for dog walking. It's very well maintained with a good network of paths and fantastic views, particularly towards the Campsies. Two ruined castles, some WWII anti-aircraft gun sites and a loch add interest when walking around the park. Good car parking, a choice of cafe/ eateries and regular events make this ideal for a family day out. There is also a children's play area next to the visitor centre and a garden centre nearby.Film fans can visit the quarry where one of the scenes from Shallow Grave was filmed and the visitor centre courtyard featured in an early episode of Taggart before it was developed.I regularly meet runners and mountain bikers in the park and it would be ideal for these activities.

Lots to do and see and the new courtyard places to eat are an added bonus. Lovely for a walk with the dog or the kids/grand kids they can explore the castle ruins, have fun in the adventure playgrounds and then something to eat and drink in one of the many eating places - from a snack to a full meal. Well worth a visit.

visited with children and grandchildren. Loads to do, the kids love the adventure playground and the nearby gun emplacements, and remains of Mugdock Castle.. We had a quick lunch in the tea room,which was very tasty

Great place to go for a relaxing stroll or more serious walk.Lots of interesting historical things to see and play parks for the Kids.Has a great open air eatery with everything from a coffee and cake to a full meal on offer.We regularly visit as its on our doorstep near Milngavie Village.

Since the Mugdock castle was our family's clan home since 1357 or some such, this was a must visit. but the other things to do in this wide open park are well worth visiting as well.

Visited Mugdock Country Park for the first time in several months. The paths have been upgraded and there is a new play park for the kids. There's a visitor centre and a café for some refreshments or you can visit Caulders garden centre, also located in the grounds of the park, which has a restaurant.A short walk from the visitor centre you will find the castle. There are lots of different tracks to follow in the park. Mugdock and Craigmaddie reservoirs are easily reachable if you are relatively fit and looking for a longer walk/run or you can walk past the Carbeth huts and along the road to the Carbeth Inn for a bite to eat. There are often events organised by the rangers. These can be found on the website. I would recommend this Country Park for an enjoyable day in the country.

I have been coming here for over 20 years first with both my now adult children then with friends to run / walk or have a lovely lunch .Now I come 3 or 4 times a week with my puppy . It has something for everyone , kids have the park adventure park and the visitor centre not to mention lots of space and woods to play in .

Check out the website regular as lots goes on all year round for all ages you can even come and watch a film , have a go at archery or tour around Mugdock castle .Since getting a puppy I have discovered paths and woods I didn't know exsisted ! I'm seeing this place through different eyes . I love everything about it , just check it out as there is too much to see and do to write here .

Park at visitors centre, walk towards Craigend Castle, go behing it over the red bridge and onto the road to find accress to the forrest. Keep left, follow the path down the hill owards Carbeth lodges follow the West Highland Way around the loch. When you come out at the road walk up the hill to take you back to Mugdock Country Park

Built for battle, not for showing off riches. A proper castle, well worth seeing. Below is a small and beautiful loch where swans were swimming. Perhaps they embodied the souls of the witches who were drowned there! Just a thought....a morbid little thought.
