Best walks from Bishopton

Bishopton Station to Kilpatrick Station

the views however are excellent. A largely road-based route, fairly dull in places, leaving Bishopton on pavemented roads and a short estate path, then about a kilometre on pavement-less Drumcross Road before good pavement leads up onto the Erskine Bridge. The bridge crossing is safe behind barriers, with a few short diversions onto the cycle lane and a fairly simple but one steep downhill section into Old Kilpatrick. Crosses the Erskine Bridge. A garden centre at the south end of the bridge has toilets and a cafe.

6km.

Drumcross Road (after the M8) has no pavement or verge for about a kilometre, with bends requiring crossing sides; care needed with constant traffic. One steep downhill section into Old Kilpatrick.

Lunch: Garden centre with toilets and a cafe at the south end of the Erskine Bridge.
