Steppsの湖・トップ6

Always great pictures, beautiful impressions, or amazing panoramic shots... A worthwhile ✅🚲—tour around the loch (lake)😅😅

The trails around Bishop Loch can become quite boggy after rain so be prepared for some hike-a-bike sections. The scenery is beautiful though with abundant wildlife throughout the area.

Hogganfield Loch is the main feature of this local nature reserve. It's a large, shallow loch with a wooded island. It's a great place to watch birds and other wildlife. The perimeter track is flat and well maintained, making access easy for, most people.

Braodwood Loch was created in 1994 when a dam was built across the burn as part of a flood remediation scheme, it helps control water downstream. Today it's a beautiful wildlife habitat within the urban area of Cumbernauld. The loch is home to flocks of swans and other water birds as well as lots of insects and underwater life. The circular trail around the loch is popular with local families and dog walkers.

Just one mile from the hustle and bustle of the city centre lies the green space of Glasgow’s only inner-city Local Nature Reserve – The Claypits. Originally the home of a clay quarry used when the Forth & Clyde Canal was first built in the late 1700s, it was also the site of a foundry, glassworks and boat-building yard. These industries are long gone but the historic canal buildings, the oldest in Scotland, still dot the banks.

Set in the beautiful Drumpellier Park, Lochend Loch is one of two natural lochs here. With a number of light gravel paths through the woodland and around the lochs it's a lovely place to while away a few hours, with plenty of wildlife to spot too. Keep your eyes open for resident and migratory waterfowl, as well as fungi in the autumn months.
