Overview

"This classic circuit climbs over moorland, dotted with reservoirs, before heading along the Greenock Cut - a historic aqueduct which once kept the industries of Greenock supplied with water. The route gives stunning views over the Clyde estuary towards the Highlands."

This is a very popular area for birding, fishing, and hiking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime.
