    Visited back in October before the lockdown, but here wasn't much to see. After a week of rain, much of the walking path was muddy. If only the paths were better maintained, it would've be a great place for walking. The walking path along the river is well paved and on a sunny day, the river views do look good.

    Peaceful. Fishing. Great walk for doggies. On a nice day it is my escape.

    Could be a very nice area to walk your dog, go for a walk or cycling. The nature is amazing but people are treating this area like a recycling centre. There is loads of trash everywhere, people burning their waste and lots of broken glass. Keep your dog under close control to avoid any injuries.

    Such a lovely scenery. During summer months, everything is so green and nature is blooming everywhere around. A great place for a long walk in nature or a cycle, great place for a picnic too! Cute place for family time or even a date. Personally, I love to cycle here with my boyfriend.

    The Possil Marsh's stunning in the sun and oasis of calm North of the city.

    Great natural area in the city. Great for waking round and getting away from thing for a while to enjoy wildlife and views. Does get really water logged on the path half way round and not passable without wellies. In dry periods it is okay but a bit muddy...that will be the marsh I guess! Would be nice to have a better pathway built that didn't flood.

    Great 4 camping & the bird sanctuary. There is also a café there for lunch etc.

    Beautiful night Friday 16/4/21 for our walk. Loads of hints of spring there... buds and shoots etc. We walked on the South-bank between Milton/ B'briggs Leisure Centre. ( The unkempt side...like my hair!) Unfortunately on the downside there was quite a lot of empties, bags,cans, bottles etc due to this season's emptyheads. There has been been a fair amount of tidying up by those who tend the canal of dead branches fallen trees. So I hope those responsible for the litter that's created please remember to take it away with you as it's much lighter to carry on the way back. Can't wait until nature really starts to flourish. We'll be back.

    Ignore the road through Possil to reach this beauty spot, come along the canal or approach from the Milngavie side towards Balmore Road. I saw a crested grebe this time last year. My friends have spotted Kingfishers. The foot path has been improved so it's a pleasure to walk along or cycle. If you do cycle however, show consideration for walkers as we are there to enjoy the canal too and don't be rude and think you own the path.

    An ok walk. Paths not that clear and easy to wander off into the marsh. Would really benefit from more local artist sculptures like the big head sculpture that they have. Lambshill cafe is right next to the pathway into the marah.
