Greenock Central Station to Port Glasgow Station
The views are wonderful. A straightforward route following the Clyde Coastal Path for most of the way: pleasant tarmac paths overlooking the Clyde estuary and with a less pleasant middle third diverting inland along the busy A8 on a wide pavement past dry docks and a marina. Follows the Clyde Coastal Path. Passes the old sugar warehouses, relics of the area's shipbuilding and shipping heritage.
Easy: 5km, moderate ascents.
The middle third runs along the busy A8 dual carriageway; a wide pavement is provided but the going is not pleasant. A busy dual carriageway crossing near Port Glasgow (pedestrian crossing provided).
