Looking for something a bit different for a Sunday afternoon stroll, then this place could tick all the boxes. Moors Valley covers 750 acres in the Valley of the Moors River.
Not easily sign posted until you are right on top of the entrance, a Sat Nav device could prove invaluable to get you here. However, if you type in the above postcode on the RAC route planner website (www.rac.co.uk), it will find the place for you and can print off directions for a return route home. There are no admission charges. Opening times are from 8 am to dusk all year round except Christmas Day and a few days in January for cleaning the site.

Advantages: Reasonable prices, tranquil setting, great for picnics, lots to do for children. Disadvantages: Lack of toilets further down the park, too much bird pooh.
would have noticed it coming in. I took a picnic and only purchased a tea, an ice cream and two cold drinks from here so cannot comment on the food quality. From what I saw the prices ranged from £1.00 upwards depending on what you had. Ribena juice cartons were £0.99, an ice cream was £1.80 and a tea in a polystyrene cup (yuk) was £1. The pine seating area inside was clean and comfortable.
To be honest, take your own picnic. It?s more enjoyable eating in the great outdoors and it?s cheaper too. Unlike Moors ValleyCountryPark which I also reviewed, this place has litter bins all over the place for your rubbish so you don?t have to take it home with you.

Advantages: Free Entry, Open All Year, Beautiful, Lots to See and Do Disadvantages: None Whatsoever!
Would you be surprised to learn that Glasgow has over 70 parks within its city boundaries? It's not known affectionately as "Dear Green Place" for nothing.
One of the largest parks is Pollok CountryPark. Situated in the southside of the city, just three miles from the city centre, it was voted Best Park in Britain in 2007 and then went on to be crowned Europe's Best Park in 2008.
It's a large park at over 360 acres, so even when the sun is splitting the sky (which does happen in Glasgow, you know!), it never feels crowded and you can always find a wee quiet spot for yourself.
Where is it and how do we get there?
It's on Pollokshaws Road, postcode G43 1AT, if you have SatNav, or take junction 1 or 2 from the M77 and follow the signs for the Burrell Collection. There is plenty of parking within the park. It ...
