Windlee Windfarm
by on Oct.17, 2009, under Countryside
Well today i went to Windlee Windfarm which is 10 mins from my house, its located in Eaglesham and you can see it from miles away. Everytime I’ve went to East Kilbride or Ayrshire I’ve seen the windfarm in the distance and always wanted to see it. Noticed in th herald that you could go by car and visit it, so I did. It was fantastic, theres a small visitor centre with a cafe, a small area for your bikes and also a part with showers to get washed and changed. The size of the site is massive, very busy with families of all ages and lots of people with there bikes. Hopefully so I will be getting a mountain bike and head up at the weekends. I beleive its the biggest windfarm in europe and well worth seeing, luckily it’s near where I live and will be visiting alot for either walks with the dog, my daughter or taking the bike. The view on the way back is also something on a clear day.
All in all fantastic.
