Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park

We visited the Muirshiel section of this massive park, and it’s an awesome country park! It’s absolutely ace. It has loads of different trails — a country trail, wildlife trail, waterfall walk, and a lovely forest and hill trail.
Most of them are about 1 — 2K, so quite short, and today we walked them all. My favourite was the ‘Windy Hill’ trail. You walk through a forest and then out onto an incline up to a hill, with brilliant views from the top.
The trails are clearly marked, and the park seems very well managed and maintained. There are interesting information points throughout, explaining what trees or wildlife to look out for in certain sections of the park. There are plenty of benches at which you can stop and enjoy the lovely scenery, and there’s several picnic areas and a large BBQ area with sheltered BBQ huts.
There’s a longer trail which leads to an old mine, and you can then walk the hills beyond, which we will definitely come back to do.
They seem to be doing an excellent job at conservation too — planting trees which are becoming rarer, and protecting endangered wildlife. There’s even a charging point for electric vehicles in the main car park! The visitor centre had a lovely helpful lady too who told us about the rest of the Clyde Muirshiel Park, and other walks that we could do in the area.
I’d never heard of this park until a week ago, and I’ve missed out — it’s a real gem of a place.

Love this place, great for a walk or to take pictures of the breathtaking scenery. Has à barbecue area which is great for a summer night, toilet facillities and small shop. Great for people of all ages regular workshops available.
