New Lanark is one of Scotland's most remarkable historic sites, a beautifully preserved 18th-century mill village set on the banks of the River Clyde. Once a pioneering model for social and industrial reform, it now offers visitors a chance to step back in time through its museum, restored buildings and mill exhibits.
The village sits right beside the river, with easy walking routes leading out towards the Falls of Clyde. Whether you're interested in history, architecture, or just a scenic riverside stroll, New Lanark makes for a rewarding day out.
With a visitor centre, shops and places to eat on site, it's easy to spend a few hours here as part of a longer day exploring the valley.
