Dumbarton Central to Kilpatrick
Recommended: Excellent views of Bowling Harbour and the Clyde. A very straightforward, level walk following a national cycle route, almost entirely on good surfaces alongside the canal and River Clyde. It includes a beautifully landscaped elevated walk/cycleway over Bowling, tree-shaded cuttings and a section running alongside the railway and ending through suburban streets and a park. Follows a national cycle route, largely free of steps. There is a replica Roman distance stone marking one end of the Antonine Wall near Old Kilpatrick.
Coastal: three quarters along the coast.
Woodland: a third under tree cover.
Time: 2h–4h
Lunch: Shops and a cafe under the old railway arches at Bowling, plus services accessible from the cycle track about halfway along.
