Inverclyde and Renfrewshire - 40 favourite walks

Bordered by the city of Glasgow to the east and the Firth of Clyde to the west, the villages and towns of Inverclyde and Renfrewshire prospered and grew during their textile manufacturing, sugar-refining and shipbuilding glory years. The factories, mills and yards may be quieter now but the natural assets which enabled much of that prosperity are still here. The 40 walks in this guide make the most of the rivers, moors, reservoirs and coastline of this often-overlooked part of Scotland, exploring some impressive industrial heritage and hidden away wildlife-rich havens along the way.
