Most people like to stretch their legs on a summers days out. Walking is a fun, free and relaxing activity. Lanarkshire provides a great escape from the city of Glasgow and has an extensive network of local pathways and trails. Several of the Country Parks, the Forth & Clyde Canal & the Clyde Walkway offer miles of reasonably gentle, attractive walks ideal for active family days out and suitable for children of all ages.
For those that prefer slightly more strenuous walks, a walk up to the summit of Tinto Hill or Coulter Fell offers a satisfying challenge.
