We are the Glasgow Young Walkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
"This short walk is a great way to explore the immediate surroundings of Helensburgh initially along the John Muir Way before joining local footpaths to Rhu. The route passes Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s acclaimed Hill House**, before heading through woodland to an ancient ***cup and ring marked rock ***and then along the Highlandman’s Road drovers route to Rhu."
This walk is best enjoyed on a dry, crisp day so I'll keep an eye on the weather leading up to the walk. Option to stay longer for lunch/hot drinks in Helensburgh before heading home.
