Countryside on Your Doorstep
Stroll along this peaceful trail and you’ll feel like you’ve walked straight into the countryside. The path looks out from the tree-covered hill over rolling farmland. Beyond the fi elds you’ll see the Campsies and on a clear day as far as Ben Lomond, white with snow in winter.
The land around Todds Well wasn’t always used for farming. It was one of the best medieval hunting grounds in Scotland – kings and noblemen came here to chase deer and fox.
Today, deer and fox shelter among the trees that grow around Todds Well. In summer and autumn, you’ll fi nd wild raspberries and brambles by the edge of the trail.
Todds Well isn’t far from Provanhall House. This is one of Glasgow’s oldest homes,
possibly more than 500 years old. Mary Queen of Scots stayed here when her poorly husband was being cared for in a nearby hospital. Perhaps she took a stroll on this very hillside.

Easterhouse
The TrailFrom the roadside marker post, follow the trail as it loops down the hillside and then back up to the housing. It’ll take about 10-15 minutes.
You’ll come across a few steep paths as you walk through this pleasant woodland. However, the best viewpoint, on the left close to the start of the trail, is easy to reach. Much of the trail is quite open and rural.
