If you are looking for peace and quiet to enjoy a good book during your lunch break why not try Kelvingrove Park at one of the many picnic benches located throughout the park and beside the River Kelvin?

A great day out for the whole family can be found at Glasgow’s parks, for example Queen's Park, with its outstanding Rose Gardens and Play Areas, or why not attempt the Healthy Walk Course at your own pace then visit the café at the Display Houses for a snack?
