Art in the park: a surprising day out in Glasgow

There are so many great days out in Scotland this winter, whether you want to go to big visitor attractions, try out an activity or just get out and about in wide open spaces. Well, you can do all of these with our suggestion for a truly surprising day out.

If you are interested in getting active and getting out in the countryside, check out our cycle routes search on our Active website, where you can find lots of ideas of places to go for a fun day out on two wheels. One of these routes is a particular favourite of ours, as it gets you out in lovely green spaces, yet is set in the heart of Glasgow.

 

It's an easy 10-mile route through Pollok, Ross Hall & Bellahouston Parks and taking in popular visitor attractions like The Burrell Collection in Pollock Country Park. Take a breather from the pedals and be amazed at this world-famous collection of textiles, stained glass, furniture, ceramics, art objects and pictures.

 

Pollock House is also open to visitors, while the formal gardens round the house are beautiful, and great for a play and a break, you'll be keen to get back on the bike and explore Glasgow once more. Later on the route there’s a very famous house that art lovers will love… Find out more on VisitScotland's Active website which details this route through Glasgow.
