Overview

This walk is now full….A five-mile linear walk from Cathcart train station to Carmunnock on undulating paths in open countryside and taking in sections of the Magnificent 11 in reverse. The walk also includes a stroll through Linn Cemetery and Linn Park. Carmunnock, where the walk finishes, is Glasgow's only remaining identifiable village. Walkers will have the option of exploring the pretty conservation area and/or stopping for coffee in one of two cafés before catching the 31 bus back to the city centre for onward travel. 

Booking for this walk opens on Thursday 7 November.
