Cycling in Glasgow and the Clyde Valley is without doubt one of the best ways to experience and enjoy the region’s dramatic scenery.
The 10 mile Glasgow Art in the Park Cycle is a popular route to try. Passing through Pollok, Ross Hall & Bellahouston Parks, it is a great way to explore the area. The trail also takes in popular visitor attractions like The Burrell Collection in Pollok Country Park. Take a breather from the pedals and be amazed at this world-famous collection of textiles, stained glass, ceramics and more.
The 12 mile Biggar-Broughton-Skirling Circular has some beautiful scenery. Most of this route is off road following an old disused railway line and an old drove road. It makes for a great half day or summer evening ride. Biggar is a small attractive town with a selection of good pubs and tearooms, making an ideal location to stop for a bite to eat.
If you are looking for a challenging day out, then cycle the Glasgow Loch Lomond Cycleway. Opened in 1989, this 21 mile route was Scotland’s first long distance cycleway. Today it forms part of the much longer Glasgow to Inverness Cycle Route. Starting in Glasgow city centre, the route is mostly traffic free and easy to follow using a mixture of former railway lines, canal and riverside paths.
