Calderglen Country Park, Glasgow

This park just outside Glasgow is perfect for families with an interest in nature. Attractions include a conservatory, an ornamental garden and a children's zoo with goats, guinea pigs, snakes and owls. There is also an adventure play area, a play area for children with special needs, a cafe and a visitor center but the highlight is probably the eight miles of nature trails across the park, taking in woodlands and water. Guided walks are available too.
