Clyde Walkway enters Brickworks Hill woodland
Clyde Walkway enters Brickworks Hill woodland
This photo was taken while following the Clyde Walkway eastwards; on the other side of the road (Blantyre Farm Road), the corner of a field can be seen. The Walkway follows the edge of the field until it meets the main road (see NS6860 : Clyde Walkway - heading towards Blantyre Farm Road); it then turns south to follow that road for a few yards, before crossing to the gate shown here, which marks the point where the Clyde Walkway enters an area of woodland called Brickworks Hill. I have turned around to show the section of the Walkway that leads to this point.

This 13 hectare site formerly contained brickworks and slag heaps, but was reshaped into a hill and partially planted in 1976. In 1993, it became part of Blantyreferme Community Woodland.
