Linlithgow Union Canal Centre

My husband and I had a great time here recently on a lovely sunny day and can heartily recommend it.
Everyone is so friendly as soon as we got out of the car people started chatting to us and answering questions. Colin took us, along with others, for one of the half-​hour boat trips and pointed out all the interesting sights along the way. He had a great sense of humour and made us all laugh a lot!
The small museum is fascinating and you can buy some small souvenirs and postcards there. We also had some homemade cakes and tea in the adjoining café which was really neat and clean the lady serving and the teenage girl who was helping were both welcoming and friendly.
The tow path runs in both directions for miles through beautiful lush countryside, following the Union Canal, and we enjoyed a great walk after the boat trip.
There are a couple of disabled parking bays right at the end of the cul-​de-​sac, otherwise you can try to find a gap along the side on your way in, from the entrance beside the bridge.
From here you can easily walk into the town via the station subway (just down the hill).
There are often special events and ‘fun days’ here. We shall definitely return for another boat trip the one in the opposite direction which goes over the aqueduct and only runs at the weekend.

A lovely little tearoom located on the banks of the union Canal. Prices are very reasonable and boats trips are also here.
