Coltness and North Branchal Woods
Woodland paths beside the South Calder Water offer a family walk near Wishaw. There are native Scots pines in North Branchal Woods, with wildflowers and birds to look out for along the wider woodland paths.
Before you go
Surfaced footpaths link the woods. Spring is a good time to look for wildflowers and listen for birds. The woods follow the South Calder Water and its tributaries; specific route lengths and step-free access have not been confirmed.
