Colzium Estate

📌 Kilsyth, North Lanarkshire
★★★

The Colzium Estate is an area of sunny parkland on the southern flanks of the Kilsyth Hills, within easy reach of Glasgow. Once owned by the Edmonstone family, the park is now maintained by the council as a popular escape for locals. The best part is a very smart and colourful walled garden, plus a brand new café / visitor centre with information boards detailing the estate’s history. For something slightly more energetic, go for a gander up the forested glen from the other side of the main drive. Kids should love the adventure playground (also new) and miniature railway just down the hill.
