Cycling tour around northern Glasgow

Glasgow, Alexandra Parade – Glasgow, Riddrie – Stepps – Kirkintilloch – Milton of Campsie – Balgrochan – Campsie Glen – Haughhead – Strathblane – Milngavie – Bearsden – Glasgow, Maryhill –  Glasgow, Firhill – Glasgow, Port Duncan – Glasgow, Royston – Glasgow (my destination)

The bike tour lasted only a few hours, I recommend cycling in the order given due to the number of downhill and lower altitude. The photos were taken with the camera placed on the Huawei Honor 7 mobile phone. I use it mainly in the field when there is no space and time to use the DSLR camera.

Glasgow Green Park

A short morning tour a bike of one of Glasgow’s largest parks with its beautiful fountain and Glass House (museum and cafe).
In the park, I have completed a school project that included the camera shots and montage the film from the trip.

Glasgow Green Park is a public park located in the east end of Glasgow, Scotland. It is the oldest park in the city, dating back to the 15th century. The park covers an area of 55 hectares and features several historical monuments, such as the Nelson Monument, the Doulton Fountain and the People’s Palace. The park also hosts various events throughout the year, such as music festivals, fireworks displays and political rallies. Glasgow Green Park is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, who enjoy its scenic views, recreational facilities and cultural heritage.

Bike trip along the Forth and Clyde Canal

One of the first longer routes I have cycled back and forth in one day. The length of the road is approximately 52 km, starting from Glasgow to Bowling via National Cycle Route No 7. One-way travel is mostly by the banks of the Fourth & Clyde Canal. Return along the Clyde River through Clydebank, Yoker, Whiteinch and the cycle path through Green Park, Alexandra Parade to Riddrie.

One of the most enjoyable ways to explore the scenic landscapes of Scotland is to take a bike trip along the Forth and Clyde Canal. This historic waterway connects the east and west coasts of the country, passing through many towns, villages and attractions along the way. You can cycle the entire length of the canal, which is about 56 miles, or choose a shorter section that suits your fitness level and time availability. The canal path is mostly flat and well-maintained, making it suitable for cyclists of all ages and abilities. You will also find plenty of places to stop for refreshments, rest or sightseeing, such as the Falkirk Wheel, the Kelpies, the Antonine Wall and the Glasgow Science Centre. A bike trip along the Forth and Clyde Canal is a great way to experience the history, culture and nature of Scotland in a fun and active way.
