NKCC health walk

The next walk will be on Saturday, 19 October 2024, and will visit a range of murals and street art in Kelvinbridge, Woodlands, Hillhead, Partick and Hyndland.

Meeting point

Meet on Queen Margaret Bridge at the junction with Queen Margaret Road at 2pm, opposite our noticeboard.

About the walk

The walk is 6.33km or 3.93 miles. It will take around 1½ hours, but longer if we want to linger in places.

The route is all on paths or pavements. It contains a staircase and a shortcut on a rough path but can be adapted to avoid both of these. We will be crossing several busy roads.

Start Queen Margaret Drive at Queen Margaret Road. Walk down Queen Margaret Drive, cross at roundabout to Hamilton Drive, cross Great Western Road. Walk up Byres Road, turn left at Vinicome Street and turn right onto Burg Lane.

Walk back onto Vinicome Street, walk to Kersland Street and to Great Western Road. Cross at lights to view mural on the far side and then recross further down the road.

Go down the stairs by Inn Deep onto the river walkway (alternative step free access- walk further down Great Western Road to Park Road and then turn into West Princes Street before walking down to Inn Deep and back the same way).
