New! Great Outdoors Leaflets
A set of useful leaflets have been developed by the West Dunbartonshire Community Planning Partnership featuring maps and information on where you can get out and about in West Dunbartonshire from short, easy walks on your doorstep to miles of cycle routes in this area:
The Great Outdoors - Clydebank (pdf, 3.25Mb)
The Great Outdoors - Dumbarton (pdf, 3.13Mb)
The Great Outdoors - Vale of Leven (pdf, 3.35Mb)
The Great Outdoors - Robert the Bruce Trail (1.77Mb)
Please note, these files are quite large and may take some time to download; hard copies will be widely distributed and can be picked up at West Dunbartonshire libraries and in Garshake and Rosebery Council offices.
There are various walks that have much to enchant those interested in walking, such as the Stoneymollan Trail, Balloch, National Park and the Kilpatrick Hills. Further information can be found from www.walkingwild.com
It is easy to cycle in the Loch Lomond & West Dunbartonshire area, especially on a prepared off-road cycleway. The Glasgow to Loch Lomond Cycleway is a relatively flat track along the banks of the Clyde, through Clydebank, past Dumbarton Castle and up the Vale of Leven to Balloch at the south end of Loch Lomond. The tracks through the Argyll and Queen Elizabeth Forest Parks are perhaps the most suitable for off-road cycling.
