Johnstone Station to Paisley Gilmour Street Station
particularly good views north to Ben Lomond. Follows the main road for most of its length and so fairly noisy with many side roads to cross. There are good views and one high point near Elderslie Golf Course; an adjacent cycle path offers a quieter but lonelier alternative.
Easy: 5km, moderate ascents.
