This walk between Kelvinbridge and St Enoch subway stations follows Glasgow’s River Kelvin before it joins the more famous River Clyde, which leads you to the centre of the city. It’s full of contrast, leading through quiet riverside parks and by the side of busy dual carriageways, and passing some of Glasgow’s most interesting museums and galleries, including Kelvingrove, Kelvin Hall and the Riverside Museum. You’ll see reminders of the river’s past alongside the modern exhibition centre, arena and hotels promising a very different future.
