Why choose Carluke for your road trip

Carluke — a city worth exploring

Carluke sits at the heart of the Clyde Valley in South Lanarkshire, where the River Clyde carved a gorge that now shelters some of Scotland's finest orchards and woodland walks. The town's Cartland Bridge, built in 1822, rises 39 metres above the Mouse Water — one of the highest road bridges in Scotland. From here you can wander through the Falls of Clyde Wildlife Reserve, managed by the Scottish Wildlife Trust, or explore the atmospheric ruins of Craignethan Castle, a 16th-century fortification perched above the River Nethan just 5 km to the south-west. Families enjoy the trails at Milton-Lockhart Estate, while the Clyde Valley Woodlands National Nature Reserve offers ancient oak and ash forests perfect for a morning ramble. Glasgow lies only 45 km to the north-west, and Edinburgh is roughly 58 km to the east, making Carluke a superb base for day trips to both cities. The surrounding countryside is gentle and well-suited to larger vehicles, with wide A-roads linking the town to the M74 motorway corridor. Hiring a campervan through Yescapa connects you with local owners across the central belt, so you can collect your vehicle nearby and set off without delay. Whether you prefer a compact campervan for two or a full-sized motorhome for the whole family, Carluke gives you easy access to Lanarkshire's orchards, waterfalls, and rolling farmland.

Best time to visit

Carluke is wonderful from late spring through autumn. May and June bring blossom season to the Clyde Valley orchards, ideal for scenic campervan drives along the fruit-growing route. The Lanimer Day celebrations in nearby Lanark each June offer a lively local tradition worth timing your trip around. Summer months are perfect for walking the Falls of Clyde trails, and campsites in the area are well prepared for the season. Booking your motorhome through Yescapa outside the July–August peak lets you enjoy quieter roads and more choice from local owners. Autumn in Carluke rewards you with harvest festivals and rich woodland colour across the valley.
