Drumpellier Country Park, Coatbridge

One of several country parks surrounding Glasgow, Drumpellier was a private estate until 1919 and has superb angling facilities. Fishing in the two freshwater lochs is not all it has to offer though. The 500 acre park also has a butterfly house during summer months, a visitor center beside the main gates, a golf course, football pitches and lots of woodland and heathland to wander through. Small rowing boats and canoes are available for hire but many people enjoy more restful leisure pursuits such as feeding the flocks of ducks, swans and geese which congregate on the water. Please check for timings as they are seasonal.
