A range of great activities can be found throughout John Muir park including pony rides and wildlife trails.

Located on a stretch of coastline too this is a beautiful and interesting place to visit with plenty to see and do.

The Park is named after John Muir, the explorer, naturalist and conservationist who was born in Dunbar in 1838. He lived here until the age of 11, when the Muir family immigrated to the United States, where they settled in Wisconsin.

As an adult, his pioneering conservation work and naturalist publications led to him being dubbed America's founder of National Parks.

John Muir Country Park covers some of the most spectacular East Lothian coastline and is a haven for wildlife and people too. From the Castle Ruins in Dunbar, to the Peffer Burn six kilometres to the north, the Park includes the Cliff Top Trail, with fine views of the sea and the historic Bass Rock; the long sandy sweep of Belhaven Bay; the River Tyne estuary; and extensive areas of grassland, salt-marsh and woodland.
