Riding in Lanarkshire Autumn in Lanarkshire

One of the routes used in the Riding of the Marches during Lanark Lanimers, this circular ride starts next to the former racecourse and then follows historic tracks on the eastern edge of Lanark.  Although never far from civilisation, the western sections enable  you to feel as though you've got away from it all, with tantalising glimpeses of the Clyde in the valley below.  Download the route below to enjoy a ride in the heart of Lanarkshire.
