1. Lenzie Moss

Lenzie Moss is a local nature reserve and preserved peat land. The area used to be exploited for peat, and there's even the remains of a building that was used for the local peat industry. There's a circuit trail around the entire reserve that takes you through woodlands and bog land. The circular route is mostly flat through a mixed of paved, gravel and raised wooden tracks. The woodlands portion of the walk is pretty interesting. That part feels so densely covered in tress that it almost feels like you're out in the wilds somewhere. A pleasant nature walk that would take about 40 minutes, .

Quiet and friendly place - cheaper and saferr than others. Next to Blanefield and about 5 miles from start of WHW - Owner Dru offers an informal taxi service - ie phone and ask... nice place to stay as well - posh rooms and also camping spaces

I visited here with my son and grandson. Despite being a local, I have never actually visited here before. There is a good amount of free car parking adjacent to the park centre which has toilets, a couple of coffee shops, a kids playground and an adventure course (for older kids). The walks are great and extensive. There are a couple of picturesque lochs and some old ruins, including Mugdock Castle. The walks are popular with walkers, dog-walkers and cyclists as well as the odd horse. A great place to spend a few hours. Entry is free.
4. Milngavie Reservoirs

Reviewed By macedonboy - Glasgow, United Kingdom
The Milngavie Reservoirs is a popular place for Glaswegians looking to get outside of the city for countryside walks. We usually just start the walk at the western side of Mugdock Reservoir where there is a car park. Then follow the footpath round to Craigmaddie Reservoir, around the Water Treatment Works before returning to the car park, which takes about an hour. The paths also take you through attractive woodlands to complement the views across the reservoir and countryside. The area is quite exposed and windy, even on a sunny day.

I hiked the West Highland Way (my first venture into hiking in Scotland) last year and was very pleased with the hike, the marked path, the terrain and gradients along the path, and the accommodations along the way. The West Highland Way was a perfect one week hike for both myself (an experienced long-distance hiker) and my companion (a newbie hiker). I make a practice of not repeating hikes that I have already accomplished, but I would not be unhappy repeating The West Highland Way.
