The Greenock Cut is a beautifully varied circular walk that follows an historic aqueduct high above the Clyde coast.

The aqueduct was built in the 1820s by engineer Robert Thom to supply water to Greenock’s thriving industries. The route now offers an easy, well maintained path with wide open views almost from the first step.

From the trail, the scenery shifts between rolling moorland, quiet reservoirs, and sweeping panoramas over Greenock, Gourock, and the Firth of Clyde. On clear days the Argyll hills and even the distant peaks of Arran can be seen.
