Overview

We will walk from Lenzie Station through the mining villages of Auchinloch and Cardowan, crossing Cardowan Moss, which can be muddy in parts, followed by pavement walking through Garthamloch, past the Fort Shopping Centre and finishing at Provan Hall, an A listed medieval building with a walled garden.   The 19X bus stops at the Hall and the Fort and is express back to Cathedral Street in central Glasgow.    Please remember your bus pass if you have one.
