Dams to Darnley Country Park, Country park in East Renfrewshire, Scotland.
The 1350-acre park contains four reservoirs, including Balgray Reservoir, along with farmland, woodland areas, and numerous walking trails through varied landscapes.
Mining operations in Darnley began in 1610, with limestone and coal extraction continuing through the Darnley Lime Works Tramway until the early 1960s.
The park's Grade A listed draw-off tower at Waulkmill Glen Reservoir stands as an engineering landmark and provides extensive views across the region.
Visitors can access the park through the Balgray Reservoir Car Park on Balgraystone Road, where two main routes offer walks of 7 miles and 2.5 miles.
The park features three bridges crossing water bodies, with paths running alongside Brock Burn leading to a natural waterfall.
