Please note we are currently carrying out forest operation on site, for your safety please follow on site safety signage and diversions.
Just a few hundred yards from the hum of traffic on the M8, the wide paths of this new forest are a surprisingly peaceful way to clear your head or walk the dog.
The nearest public toilets and places to eat are in Harthill and Shotts.
There is no charge to park in this car park.
Eastfield is on the north side of the B717 at West Benhar. Following West Benhar Road from Eastfield, the car park will appear on the right after a one minute drive.
ML7 5TG is the nearest postcode.
