<strong>Cycle</strong> to Paisley for a great day out! From Glasgow cross the<br />

Clyde on Bell’s Bridge, by the huge F<strong>in</strong>nieston Crane, to follow<br />

on-road and traffic-free cycle paths <strong>in</strong>to Pollok Park.<br />

In this large city park you can visit the Burrell Collection with its<br />

extensive art and curios collection and excellent café. Also open<br />

to the public is the 18th century Pollok House, which has art<br />

works by El Greco and Murillo. Most of the rema<strong>in</strong>der of the<br />

route to Paisley Canal station follows pleasant riverside paths by<br />

the White Cart Water. Crookston Castle and Paisley Abbey are<br />

also worth a visit.<br />
