The Clyde Walkway is a 65 km (40-mile) long-distance trail in central Scotland, stretching from Glasgow to New Lanark. Designated as one of Scotland’s Great Trails, it offers a rich blend of urban and rural landscapes, making it accessible for both walkers and cyclists.
Starting in Glasgow’s West End, the route follows the River Clyde through the city, passing landmarks like the Riverside Museum and Glasgow Green. As it moves eastward, the path meanders through suburban areas such as Cambuslang and Uddingston, before entering the tranquil Clyde Valley. Here, walkers are treated to scenic woodlands, including the Clyde Valley Woodlands National Nature Reserve, and pass through historic sites like Bothwell Castle and Chatelherault Country Park. The trail culminates at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of New Lanark, renowned for its 18th-century cotton mills and the stunning Falls of Clyde. The route is generally flat and well-maintained, with some steeper sections closer to New Lanark and with recent upgrades to sections like Mauldslie Woods near Carluke enhancing accessibility.
