Jurassic Lanark

Come to Lanark this summer if you are brave enough! A host of fearsome dinosaurs will be on the loose. Your task? To find them ... before they find you! 

This year's Jurassic Lanark is bigger and better than ever, with not one but two fantastic trails to follow - our traditional Monster Trail in Lanark town centre and Castlebank Park plus, new for '24, our Mini Trail of dinosaur shop windows.

Free trail maps are available from Tolbooth Lanark on High Street in the heart of the town centre, open daily from 10am to 5pm. (Postcode ML11 7EX). We recommend picking up your map in person and the Tolbooth volunteers will provide you with information and advice about how to complete the trail. Trail maps can also be downloaded HERE. The whole trail measures just over 1 and three-quarter miles. Please note that there are some narrow pavements and areas with no pavement on the walk down to Castlebank Park, which is a steep slope. There is also a steep slope upwards within the park including some shallow steps.

Which dinosaurs will you meet on your trail of discovery? Some of the deadliest carnivores will be here including Tyrannosaurus Rex, Spinosaurus, Allosaursus, Dromaeosaurus and Velociraptor. There will be plenty of plant eaters too such as Brachioisaurus, Triceratops, and Stegosaurus. Much more friendly!
