The park provides a wonderful experience for lovely walks and is dog friendly. Play area looks very good and was busy with families . The children seemed to be enjoying their time here … however Photos on web site of cafe and courtyard obviously taken good while ago . It’s August , it’s closed. Courtyard looks abandoned. So went to Tea room for coffee and cake ( no cakes, tho biscuits available. Decided not to bother ). Gift shop poor. Overall felt like I’d stepped into a time warp of the 50’s. Hard to describe how bland and unwelcoming it all looks. As for the public toilets 😱. I’m embarrassed to think we could have visitors from … well anywhere… having to experience this. Whole building / courtyard area/ plant containers etc need completely refurbished / plant containers need painted and stocked. The council need to get their act...

While the historic house is no longer there, the stable block cafe provides a nice spot for a coffee and a snack.

Facilities are good with ample parking and clean toilets. Whether you're looking for a brisk walk, a picnic spot, or a place for the kids to burn off energy, Polkemmet Country Park delivers. Well...

These are just 3 photos out of the many plus pictures/videos I have of these absolute beautiful and majestic birds. Me and my husband love owls, we have visited centers including one in our home state of FL, the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey and you learn so much about each type of Owl. How they hunt, what the colors of the eyes mean in terms of hunting in the dawn and dusk etc. if you love birds just as much as us especially owls I would 100% recommend the Owl Center here at Polkemmet Country Park. While we were only fascinated with the center they do have a cafe, a playground, a golf course for those golf lovers and walking paths. Just many of the things all of us nature...
