Timeline

    Bellahouston Park

    Start your walk at Bellahouston Park. Arrive early to enjoy the open space and sports centre before the day’s visitors arrive. The park is vast, so take a moment to orient yourself near the entrance.

  2. 10:00

    Eusebi Deli

    Head to Eusebi Deli for a picnic lunch. This Italian deli is just a short walk from the park area and offers prepared paninis, salads, and patisserie. It is perfect for a sunny day in the park, though you can also enjoy the food inside if the weather turns.

  3. 11:00

    Kelvingrove Park

    Walk over to Kelvingrove Park. This historic green space, laid out in the 1850s, stretches west with the River Kelvin running through it. Stroll along the paths to see the refurbished bandstand and enjoy the leafy atmosphere away from the city noise.
