This circular walk starts at Govan Cross, taking you past Govan Old Church, home to fascinating Viking-age sarcophagi. You’ll cross the River Clyde via the Govan Footbridge, with views of the Tall Ship, before continuing on to the Transport Museum and the impressive Kelvingrove Museum, where you’ll find Dalí’s famous Christ of St John of the Cross.

From there, the route winds through Kelvingrove Park and along the Kelvin Walkway to the Botanic Gardens, including the beautiful Kibble Palace. Heading up Byres Road, you’ll reach the University of Glasgow, with its Harry Potter-like architecture, before passing the Hunterian Museum and returning to Govan Cross via the subway — a varied walk packed with history, culture, and some of Glasgow’s most iconic sights.

To ensure a smooth pace and the best experience for all participants, we kindly ask that our hikes remain pet-free and child-free. This helps us keep the group moving comfortably and ensures everyone can fully enjoy the adventure. Thank you for your understanding.
