Country park
👍👍 Equidistant between Langbank and Kilmacolm this area of forested hillside is a great place for a walk. The cairn at the top provides expansive views across to Dumbarton, Cardross, Helensburgh, and down the Gareloch.

👍👍 Great walking around there starting from Overton. The view is amazing and the route I took back down included 3 of the reservoirs. It was also very quiet although plenty of forestry work being carried out.

G. Brown Hill
Park
👍👍 Quite like standing at this point before deciding which trail might break me each time, usually spexy as I'm only there for the patter with the boys and a relaxing pedal through the woods and steep, muddy shoots to finish it off! Definitely will keep coming back. Keep up the good work 💪✌
