Clyde Walkway, Motherwell to Maudslie

Join the Glasgow Young Walkers for a low level walk along the third stage of the Clyde Walkway. This section is much more rural than the first two stages, following the river through farmland, woods and nature reserves.

Please note: we will meet at the Motherwell Train station and walk roughly 1 mile to join the Clyde Walkway. This is accounted for in the distance listed below.

Meeting point: Motherwell Train Station
Meeting time: 10.00am
Distance: approx. 9.3 miles
Ascent: 80m
Duration: 5 hours
Terrain: Mix of tracks and paths; some rougher sections by the river bank

Getting there
By car: The Motherwell rail station is roughly 25 minutes from Glasgow city centre by car. Please note that this is a point to point walk, and drivers will need to take public transport back to their cars.

Public transport: Regular trains run to Motherwell rail station.

The walk ends at Maudslie Bridge, which is a half mile walk from the village of Rosebank. This is accounted for in the distance listed above. From Rosebank, the 317 bus connects with the Lanark train station and the 243 bus connects with the Hamilton Central train station.

This is an easy walk which is suitable for those with reasonable fitness levels. Please wear suitable walking boots also make sure that you have plenty of food and water with you.
