This pretty county in the UK is said to be one of the best to visit in the UK thanks to its beautiful scenery away from noisy crowds.<\/p>\n

Lanarkshire in Scotland is described as a “hidden gem” perfect for those who love exploring the outdoors.<\/p>\n

It is home to Strathclyde County Park which offers breathtaking views across the Scottish countryside, as well as numerous amenities.<\/p>\n

It sits within beautiful surroundings, lying in the valley of the River Clyde. Located just outside of Glasgow, Lanarkshire is easy to get to and is home to a number of sleepy villages.<\/p>\n

Located in southern Scotland, it is an area waiting to be discovered, with tourists often choosing to visit more popular areas.<\/p>\n

Home to many hidden gems, including two UNESCO world heritage sites and a thriving cultural scene, there is plenty of attractions to visit and sites to immerse yourself in.<\/p>\n

There are an abundance of walking routes in this county, stemming from nature reserves to forests. The oldest forest can be found in natural gorges throughout the Clyde Valley.<\/p>\n

Wildlife enthusiasts can spot tawny owls and woodpeckers in the rolling hills, as well as the famous resident badgers.<\/p>\n

The area is also home to spectacular waterfalls, named the Falls of the Clyde which has its own dedicated walking route in Chatelherault Country Park.<\/p>\n

The county is also flooded in history, with heritage dating back centuries. The Romans mark on Lanarkshire remains, with the Antonine Wall designated a world heritage site in 2008.<\/p>\n

The Antonine Wall was to be the Northern frontier of the Roman Empire in Britain but lasted only around 20 years.<\/p>\n

Another famous world heritage site is New Lanark, which is a unique 18th-century cotton mill village beside the stunning Falls of Clyde.<\/p>\n

For those looking for somewhere to stay, the New Lanark Mill Hotel and Waterhouse cottages offer a chance to stay right in the centre of the village.<\/p>\n
