With such close proximity to Edinburgh, Silverwood is excellently-placed to take advantage of the capital city’s endless leisure attractions. Not only is Edinburgh the leading festival city in the world, it is also a UNESCO world heritage site.
Silverwood is surrounded by a stunning countryside, with acres of picturesque green space just waiting to be explored. The Almondell and Calderwood Country Park, less than 5 miles from home, offers an abundance of trails for walking, cycling and horseback riding through tranquil parkland.
Closer to home, Eliburn Park is just a short walk from home and incorporates a children’s play area, football pitches and woodland walks around Eliburn reservoir. A pathway within the park also joins up with Livingston’s extensive foot and cycle path network.
Almond Valley Heritage Trust, situated on a wooded riverside just 1.5 miles from Silverwood, offers an ideal day out for families. The stone buildings of the watermill and byres are home to friendly farm animals, while trampolines and pedal carts provide ample opportunity for imaginative outdoor play.
