Glasgow, Clyde Valley & Ayrshire
|
The River Clyde will always be associated with building ships and building the City of Glasgow in the process, but as the famous river meanders its way through central and the west of Scotland it takes in many more delights, both natural and urban. From the incredible Falls of Clyde in Lanark and through Glasgow to the Clyde Estuary and that other great shipbuilding centre, Greenock, the riverbanks give way to the ever popular Ayrshire coast, famed for family trips to the seaside, world class links golf, and the historic and cultural attractions which draw visitors from all over the world.

Regarded as the second city of the empire, Glasgow certainly had its role to play during the industrial age and the great riches from the period have left an architectural and cultural legacy which defines modern Glasgow as a premier city break destination. People certainly come to see the historic sights, to visit the many wonderful museums and city parks but perhaps most of all they come for shopping by day and enjoying drinks and lively company by night. The city doesn't have a monopoly on these things of course and there are other major towns throughout the Clyde Valley, including Hamilton and Lanark, both of which can boast similarly long and interesting histories.
The Clyde Valley has some great green spaces too and in Strathclyde Park, near Hamilton, Scotland's largest theme park but to get away for a break in the West of Scotland means heading for Ayrshire. The beaches at Ayr and Ardrossan offer plenty of seaside fun attractions while inland there are many quiet places to find peace in wonderful natural surrounds. Ferry trips to the Islands of Cumbrae and Arran provide further options for leisure time but any bed and breakfast accommodation options in the region are bound to have a wealth of activities nearby.
