Greenoakhill
New woodland, paths and benches have opened on part of a former landfill site beside the Clyde. Families can take a local walk and look for birds and butterflies among the young trees.
Before you go
Only the restored first phase is described as open. Use the Hamilton Road entrance opposite the Dogs Trust Rehoming Centre. Cafés and shops are in Uddingston and Mount Vernon.
