Great place to walk and run - set in beautiful woodland.

Because it is in beautiful woodland countryside that is well worth a visit. And if you are a runner, I REALLY recommend the 10k Dechmont Law Run - and if that seems a bit long, there is also a 6.5k - tis fab!

Apparently regarded as one of the most important UFO encounters in the world…

This is our favourite MTB loops for a quick spin from our factory gates - perfect for a lunchtime blast using Livingston's amazing off-road paths and a couple of cheeky bits of singletrack either side of the main Edinburgh to Glasgow motorway. Look out for UFO landing site memorial stone and take a trip up Dechmont Law for great views across town to the Pentlands.
