Video guide: Milngavie & Lennox Forest cycle loop

This is a lovely circuit on mostly easy going trails and paths from Milngavie, near Glasgow, for mountain bikes and gravel bikes.

The route starts and finishes in Milngavie. It follows a section of the West Highland Way, to Mugdock Country Park and then to Strathblane.

You join the Strathkelvin Railway Path and then leave this at Lennoxtown to head into Lennox Forest. The return is on quiet country roads and joins the edge of Milngavie Reservoirs for a short while.
