Forest bathing at Linn Park

Linn Park is Glasgow's second largest park, on the south side of the city, and its woodland is semi-natural and a local nature reserve, around 52 hectares of it. The White Cart Water runs through the park, with a small waterfall and the ruins of Linn House, part of an old country estate. Herons work the river and foxes and deer use the woods.

There is a large network of paths and a river walk, so it is easy to find a quieter loop away from the play areas and the golf course. The riverside is the natural place to slow down: follow the water through the trees and stop by the falls. Paths under the trees can be soft after rain, and autumn colour along the river is good.
