Claypits Local Nature Reserve

The Claypits is a nature reserve with wooded walks and paths running alongside the Forth and Clyde Canal, between the Firhill and Applecross basins. It was once an industrial hub linked to the canal and Glasgow’s history. It has grown, over many years, into a place for nature and wildlife to thrive. Today it is a much-loved greenspace in the heart of our communities and enjoyed by all who visit.

Volunteer-run reserve with woodland paths, ponds and canal, regular guided walks and litter picks. Dog walkers welcome.
