About this outing
The Woodland Trust’s Drumchapel Woodlands visitor entry describes three wooded sites within the old Garscadden Estate, covering 23.52 hectares, with many paths, some waymarked, and views of Glasgow. Walkers, cyclists and riders use the woods. Choose a manageable walk for your family and allow for other path users. The visitor entry gives grid reference NS 52805 72019; it does not establish an accessible entrance or a pushchair-suitable route. This is an outdoor woodland visit, not a staffed children’s activity or a promise of toilets, parking or play equipment.
Planning your visit
- Some paths are waymarked; choose a route appropriate to your family.
