Overview

This is an easy walk (C grade) - around 5 miles, mostly in parkland on good paths and flat terrain.  There are several options to shorten further.

The walk follows a route from park to park around Glasgow's south east side, including Glasgow Green, Richmond Park, Toryglen, Moll's Myre Nature Reserve, the old Third Lanark football ground and finally Queen's Park.  There are numerous points of interest along the way.
