The Riverside Walk is an extension of the Dundee Maritime Trail and takes you from Discovery Point to the infamous Tay Rail Bridge, to Magdalen Green – a nice playpark – and passing Dundee Airport all the way to the Riverside Nature Park. It is paved and flat and a great stroll along Firth of Tay with stunning views. Keep your eyes peeled for McGonagall's Walk which is part of the Riverside Walk and shows you the poem "The Railway Bridge of the Silvery Tay" of William McGonagall from 1878.
