The county is also home to the unique 18th-century mill village of New
Lanark, once powered by the thundering falls of the Clyde, as well as
wonderfully remote hill country, densely wooded river gorges, peaceful
lochs, magnificent parkland and vibrant nature reserves, all offering
great opportunities for walkers of all abilities.
Each walk entry
begins with at-a-glance details of distance, time, terrain, parking,
and public transport access where available. Clear route-finding
instructions are provided together with simple overview coloured sketch
maps, but OS Explorer map sheet numbers are also provided. The text also
includes brief notes on features of interest along the way and there
are colour photographs throughout.
The walks are arranged into four geographical sections:
Upper Clydesdale
The Clyde and Avon Valleys
East Kilbride to Monklands
Cumbernauld to the Carron Valley
