From Bowling Harbour we join one of the Sustran Trails (one of the many cycle routes throughout the UK).

Initially the route runs through woodland, passes several bonded warehouses, prevalent in the area, before reaching the town of Dumbarton.  Walking through the town and over one of the two bridges we then join a path which runs alongside, and to the west of, the River Leven, finally reaching Balloch on the shores of Loch Lomond.

The outward leg uses cycle paths and urban pavements. We return to Bowling by bus or train, so bring your bus pass if applicable.
