Beautiful walk along the river Kelvin in Glasgow. A paradise of green, water and trees in the middle of the city! You can walk for an hour easily and even see some squirrels 😍😍

Beautiful walk through Glasgow along the Kelvin River. Clearly indicated and not crowded at all, not even on a Sunday. Great for bird watchers as well. We started in the city centre and walked up North, we could have easily taken the train from Maryhill station back to the city centre. But ended up taking one of the many buses that stop near Maryhill.

A fairly long path to walk along the River Kelvin in nature. There are also a lot of bicycles, so be careful.
