Our Good Friday day trip this year was to New Lanark. 24 members, 3 staff and a student were packed on to a coach and spent the day taking in the sights at the UNESCO World Heritage Site!
“I had a great time at New Lanark, it’s been a long time since I’ve been outside Glasgow. It’s a really nice place with stone buildings tucked away in a valley, and also there were waterfalls and loads of nice trees nearby. The thing I liked the most was the Annie McLeod experience, where there was this cable car thing we would sit in going through the different stages of what was life then, with all these projections and sculptures re-enacting all of it. The roof garden was also interesting, we could see most of the site from there. Robert Owen’s house was also a delight, with its lively wallpaper. At last the best of all is we had a good warm, sunny day.”
“Highlights of New Lanark: The Falls of Clyde View Point, the rooftop garden view point on top of the old mill, The rooftop garden was a lovely lunch spot.”
“New Lanark is a very interesting look back to the past at how people lived in the early days of the industrial revolution. A chance to see how they worked day in, day out, the living conditions 200 years ago and some working machinery. It was a very good day trip.”
