Guided Walks in East Renfrewshire

Walking for Wellbeing organises a programme of health walks. Walking routes are varied and combine existing paved surfaces with grass and woodland pathways. Generally the walks are reasonably flat with the occasional slight gradient included – purely for health benefits!

You won’t need any special equipment to join, just sensible shoes and clothes to suit our changeable weather.

For more information on meeting points and start times please write, phone or email the Walking Co-ordinator using the following contact details:

Our Ranger Service also organises guided walks throughout the year in Rouken Glen Park, Giffnock. The guided walks are normally themed and recent walks have included history walks, spring walks and tactile walks.

Again, you won’t need any special equipment to join, just sensible shoes and clothes.
