Boden Boo Woods
National reserve
👍 This is a lovely wee beach down by the river Clyde. Its got really nice walkways and little bits to stop and sit. Perfect for kids if you're in the Glasgow area and don't want to drive as far as Ayr for a beach. The coastal path was a really nice walk and take you right under the Erskine Bridge. Per...

Birkmyre Park
Park
👍 Nice park for a walk. Pretty well maintained, could do with a few more benches for people like me who have mobility issues to rest on. Nice wee café for a cuppa and also a gym. Just a shame that some irresponsible dog owners don't pick up dog mess 😤 I use a walking stick and I manage it!

Locherwood Community Woodland
Park
👍👍 Brief stop for a walk. Wish I'd been able to explore more. Good information board at the entrance.
Update: been back twice for a couple of 5+ mile walks on the blue trail. Great views. Be sure to have waterproof footwear with a decent grip. Flies were a bit of a nuisance last time on 26 July.

Ferguslie Gardens

👍👍 With the unseasonable sunny weather (!) Kicking in, I have been out and about and taking walks at this park much more recently. It's only a few minutes from my house which is convenient, because it is absolutely lovely. It's a nice half hour stroll on a grey overcast day, but the sunshine has seen m...

Kenmure Hill Temple
Historical landmark
👍 I parked at the Castle Semple Visitor Centre and made my way over to the Temple from there which is around 2.3 miles away (roughly 45 mins walk).
The path over to the entrance to the field that leads to the temple is fairly flat with mostly smooth terrain suitable for pram or trike as I had my son...

Durrockstock Park - Local Nature Reserve

👍 Such a lovely nature reserve park with a great path to walk around the trees and a great big pond with lots of water animals.. It pond could really do with a deep clean of anything been flung in and the litter and no facilities and a random building that looks dull.
Overall a really good area to go...
