Visiting West Lothian

We're open daily 10am to 5pm throughout the year, except 25/26 Dec. and 1/2 Jan.

All buildings, other than one small area of the Mill, are accessible to those with impaired mobility. All main paths around the site are surfaced and suitable for wheelchairs and buggies.

A wheelchair is available for loan during your visit

There are ample picnic benches around the site, and covered (but unheated) picnic accommodation is available at most times. Picnics are definitely not welcome in the tearoom...! There is no access to the tearoom unless you are visiting Almond Valley.

Well-behaved dogs are admitted providing they are kept on a lead at all times and away from the more nervous of our livestock.

Almond Valley is on the outskirts of Livingston, West Lothian, just two miles from junction 3 of the M8, the main Edinburgh to Glasgow motorway. Follow the brown tourist signs for "Almond Valley Heritage Centre". We're at the heart of Scotland, about 15 miles from the centre of Edinburgh and 30 miles from Glasgow.

Almond Valley is about a mile from Livingston North railway station, which enjoys a regular service on the Edinburgh to Bathgate line. Livingston South is almost three miles from Almond Valley and is served by a less frequent service on the Edinburgh - Glasgow Central line. For details of train services contact First Scotrail.

The routes and times of local bus services change frequently, so we advise that you plan your journey using TravelLine Scotland. Just type "Almond Valley Heritage Centre" as your destination.
