From Barrhead Road start at the Cadoc Wood gateway, created by Stone Inspired with stone carvings from Josephine Crossland, and walk along the Capelrig Burn wildlife corridor.

The range of habitats - woodlands, grasslands and wetlands - means the corridor is home to an abundance of wildlife.

As you move along the corridor you will find a variety of plants, insects, amphibians, mammals and birdlife. There is a selection of outdoor gym equipment available along the route.
