Overview

A new year's walk along the Clyde from Dalmarnock to Govan, criss-crossing some of the 22 bridges along this section of the river.

Saturday, 3 January 2026

The walk is flat and virtually all on tarmac so might be slippy depending on weather. There is an opportunity to shorten the walk (and hit the January sales instead?) by peeling off halfway on the section of the river nearest to the city centre. The walk will end in Govan after we have crossed the Govan bridge from the Riverside Museum. We'll stop for coffee and lunch along the way so please bring a flask with a hot drink and some food.
