Local to Broxburn
Broxburn sits a short drive east of the Tail Trails base in Livingston. The Union Canal towpath runs centrally through the town, which makes it the obvious anchor for regular dog walks — flat, all-weather, and lead-friendly when the towpath is busy. Solo walks suit reactive, nervous, or older dogs, and small group walks are kept small for sociable dogs.
