Plean Country Park

Plean is a former mining village just east of Stirling. The last pit in Plean closed in 1963. Plean House and the 190 acres of its estate were handed over to Stirling Council by the Coal Board in the 1980s by which time the place was derelict and overgrown. Plean House remains ruinous but the grounds have been transformed into a network of footpaths, bridleways, woodlands and a biodiversity trail. It's a great place for a walk.
