Sheudd two

Slow Way not verified yet. Verify Sheudd here.

I’d now recommend using CamShe 2 and then CamUdd 2 instead of this route. CamShe 2 uses quiet roads rather than staying on the B765 and is only 400m longer. You can join the two by crossing the Clydeford Road Bridge. CamUdd 2 is the same as this route from that point.

After walking many urban slow ways I’m more appreciative of keeping off the busier roads plus I’ve recently discovered a pedestrian cut-through between the park on Falside Road and Carmyle Avenue (opposite no. 37) which makes a quieter but relatively short alternative possible.

Sustrans are planning to reopen the Carmyle-Westburn viaduct as a walking and cycling route. Then it will be possible to have a walking route between Shuttleston and Uddingston that doesn’t go via Cambuslang or Bargeddie. https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/scottish-news/23487196.new-bridge-built-edge-glasgow/ Adding a new SheUdd 3 route now and a SheUdd 4 route once the bridge opens would leave four overlapping routes along this part of the Clyde Walkway and two overlapping along the quieter urban roads. That is not helpful especially as SheUdd 1 and CamShe 1 are already overlapping along the B765. Instead I’m adding a new CamShe 2 route between Shettleston and Cambuslang, combining the two shorter routes has the extra benefit of a ready made route into Cambuslang if you want to break the journey.

The only facilities actually on this route are a small shop and a pair of pubs in Carmyle, just at the end of the first third. Later you could take detours to break the route up, half mile into Cambuslang town from the roundabout, or later into Newton Farm where it’s about a mile to Newton Station but less to some bus stops. See attached map.

This route was originally created because SheUdd 1 has a long section of 60mph rural road with hedges and no verges, Westburn Rd between Newton and Uddingston. It looks uncomfortable, probably unsafe to walk along. Using the Clyde Walkway instead means the route is off-road right into Uddingston. Download a route guide here:
