Townhill Country Park is made up of the Town Loch, Townhill Woods & the Town Park. There are miles of fun running trails around this area including this section of disused railway line. It's a multi user trail so do watch out for bikes and walkers but it's well surfaced and good for racking up some miles or enjoying a peaceful and low stress pretty run.
