Overview

We begin the walk at the 'Fireman's Statue' at Central Station, Glasgow. We cross the river Clyde over the Carlton Suspension bridge into the Gorbals area.  We will then proceed on a circular route visiting the Southern Necropolis and several interesting historical sites on the way, including the newly renovated Citizens Theatre.  We cross back over the Clyde at St Andrew's suspension bridge and complete our walk following the Clyde through Glasgow Green. We will end our walk at St Enoch's Square and there will then be an opportunity to join together for a Christmas refreshment.

This is a C grade, Easy walk.       Distance 10km.
