Overview

This is a shorter, more leisurely version of the Campsie Villages Walk taking place on Saturday 18th January.

We'll start and finish in Clachan of Campsie. The first stretch to Lennoxtown is through undulating open countryside with good views of the Campsies. We'll then return to Clachan of Campsie on the Strathkelvin Railway Path which is flat and easy. There will be options to visit the Schoenstatt Spiritual Retreat Centre and/or the café and historic church yard in Clachan of Campsie. 

There are no stiles to climb on this walk.

To book on this walk, please contact the leader two weeks before (from 9th January onwards). Please include your mobile number and email address.
