Callendar Park has wonderful extensive grounds and woodlands and a lovely wee loch with seats around it which are ideal for enjoying a picnic. After our walk in the colourful autumn woods we went to the House, once a private residence, for lunch in the upstairs restaurant with the impressive original fireplace and beautifully decorated ceiling. The whole experience was most enjoyable with all covid regulations met and charming staff. Lunch was delicious and afternoon teas are available by booking online. The museum part of the house is on several levels from the basement kitchen upwards through the oak staircase and charts the progress of the area from Roman to modern times. Toilets are spacious, wheelchair friendly and clean and there is a small shop on exit. Check online to find opening times and more information.
