1. Strathaven Miniature Railway
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 14 reviews
Historic live steam miniature railway set in the grounds of Strathaven Public Park. We have just celebrated 71 years of operating the railway in 2020. We have still in use the original locomotive which ran in the park for the first time on the 14th of May 1949. 'Margaret' is the locomotive in question and can be seen either on display or in use on special occasions. Weather permitting trains will be in operation from Easter to the end of September each weekend.

This fabulous gem in the heart of the delightful South Lanarkshire market town of Strathaven is run by volunteers and is one of the reasons Strathaven Park keeps winning Grren Flag Awards ! Its been operating in the park for over 70 years now and regularly you find three generations of families who are total fans and on the train together ! Miss this delightful attraction at your peril.

6. Hamilton Mausoleum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 43 reviews
Hamilton Mausoleum was one of the finest private tombs in the UK, and is now one of South Lanarkshire's most famous buildings. It was built as a tomb and monument to Alexander, 10th Duke of Hamilton, nicknamed 'El Magnifico', but was incomplete at the time of his death in 1852. The chapel has a massive dome, magnificent bronze doors, and a stunning floor made of marble from around the world. However, one of the first things you will probably notice is its amazing 15-second echo, one of the longest in the world!

Built to house the remains of the Dukes of Hamilton, this building is both a grandiose monument to Classicism and pride. The architecture is a beautiful example of classical Roman architecture. It’s a pity the guided tours inside are postponed.

Looking for a tasty, good value bite to eat than visit here. The lentil soup is the best, granny could not make it better. I also highly recommend the rocky road. It's extremely good value & always spotless. The staff are very friendly & helpful.
