Overview

This is an Urban walk in Glasgow's Southside, following the White Cart river from Pollok House to Holmwood House. Unfortunately neither of these National Trust properties are open when we are there..

The majority of the walk is on pavements, however there are some steps and a section on forest paths. There is also a muddy section at the end of the walk.
