Hamilton, ML3 7UE
01698 426213
Chatelherault Country Park is a five-star visitor
attraction that was once described as a ‘jewel in the
landscape’ of Ferniegair. The grand estate was built
in 1732 as a hunting lodge and summer house for
the Dukes of Hamilton. The beautiful Georgian 18th
century hunting lodge is situated on an eye-catching
hilltop amidst magnificent landscaped gardens and
ancient woodland and has spectacular views across
the Clyde Valley. The restored buildings now house
a visitor centre, while the West Lodge comprises the
Banqueting Hall and Duke and Duchess Apartments.
There’s also an exhibition gallery and displays plus
a gift shop and café. Outside, visitors can explore
10 miles of walks along the scenic River Avon and
through ancient woodland. The country park boasts
five different trails ranging from 45 minutes to three
hours at a gentle pace. In addition, the exquisite
Chatelherault now serves as one of the country’s
leading venues for weddings and conferences.
