  • Group Visits
Looking for a group visitor attraction that will deliver a truly memorable experience? Bring your group to New Lanark World Heritage Site

Discover Scotland’s hidden past at one of Scotland’s six UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Explore an 18th century cotton mill village sitting in a beautiful location alongside the picturesque River Clyde, learn about the fascinating history of New Lanark at our award winning visitor Centre and attractions, and enjoy opportunities to eat at our cafe or restaurant, and browse our beautiful gift shop. We recommend at least two hours for a visit, but we can tailor a visit to suit your group's shcedule. You can easily spend a day exploring all there is to see and do, or or stay overnight in our 4 star hotel , self-catering waterhouses, or Wee Row Hostel. For those on a very tight schedule, we offer an express 'meal-stop'. While your group is enjoying their visit, we’ll look after the coach driver. Information for school and education groups is provided in our learning section. 

  • Group Tours

    Founded in 1785 with a focus on philanthropy, education and the welfare of the mill workers, New Lanark became a model for industrial communities that was to spread across the world in the 19th and 20th centuries. Groups can see how villagers lived, learned and worked with a visit to Robert Owen’s School for Children, millworkers’ housing and Robert Owen’s own house. There’s an opportunity to see historic working textile machinery, and take the ‘Annie McLeod Experience’, a fascinating ‘dark ride’ that tells the eye-opening story of a child millworker.

    You can choose to combine a group guided tour or seminar with entry to our Visitor Centre or simply come for a self-led visit. Enjoy spectacular views of the village, river and surrounding forests from our roof garden, then take a woodland walk to see the famous ‘Falls of Clyde’ waterfalls.
