Help connect Cumbernauld
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Cumbernauld’s Slow Ways.

The route begins in Cumbernauld Town Centre which is a huge, multi-floored retail and leisure centre. Once out of the centre, the route makes its way, via some of the many walkways and underpasses that criss-cross the town, to Forest Road. The route then follows the busy Forest Road for a kilometre or so but there is only a grass verge to walk on so I left the route at this point and followed various pedestrian paths through Abronhill, re-joining the route just after Forest Road turns onto the much quieter Walton Road (at NS79197607). The route then follows Walton Road to a sharp left hand turn where it leaves to join a very rough, muddy track heading east.
