Gardens and river views at the Leven and Clyde / DUMBARTON

Levengrove Park

Spend time in the formal gardens, open lawns and play area where the Leven meets the Clyde. Views towards Dumbarton Rock connect the park with the town’s history without requiring the castle climb. This is a public park visit, with enough flexibility for a short stroll, a family play stop or a longer picnic when conditions suit.

Before you go

Choose the entrance and path length that work for your group; the landscape includes slopes rather than one uniformly flat circuit.
