Walk round the pretty woods from Ascog Road | Lynnebe | 03/11/2023 |
From housing estate | vegibagger | 01/06/2023 |
Train to Westerton station past the school and into the woods. A walk back to central Glasgow via the canal and Kelvin Walkway. | Buck | 03/04/2023 |
Really rather nice, though only gaps in the beautiful trees allow views, mostly northwards. Easy access, multiple good paths and a clear summit, among the trees. Nice carvings including deer. Very much enjoyed the brief visit and will be back. | Belfarm | 21/05/2022 |
From Westerton station | hillsman | 24/04/2022 |

My twentieth visit to this insignificant eminence, my closest Tump to home and part of a regular long walk. Only in lockdown...... | Colin Crawford | 15/01/2021 |
200m detour to summit en route to local station | lordtonult | 21/10/2020 |
Parked in Henderland Road. This road seems to specialise in manicured twee gardens, very fitting in the heart of Bearsden Bungalowland. Hill is pleasant mature woodland. Easy access. | Campbell Singer | 08/10/2020 |
Parked at W entrance at the middle of the wood | GordonAdshead | 16/07/2020 |
Same as last time street from the west. | robertphillips | 04/07/2020 |
From road that intersects the N and S parts of the park. Very established and dark piece of broadleaf woodland sandwiched between houses. A small cairn at what felt like the summit. | sclater | 04/07/2020 |
I was stretching the rules a touch, this Tump being three miles from home along the canal towpath. Sadly this is the most I'll be able to attempt until the crisis is over. Pleasant but distinctly underwhelming | Colin Crawford | 06/04/2020 |
After visit to Aldi at Knightswood via canal to Westerton station and up on to ridge and nature walk. Summit still well grubbed. Good views of garden fences | Thearlaichdubh | 22/12/2019 |
From Henderland Road. | NormanW | 09/11/2019 |
Walked from centre of Glasgow via Kelvin Walkway. Several contenders for high point. 
Second time - 28/12/18. | russell61 | 12/11/2018 |
3rd tump of 5 today, after Craigend Hill and Douglas Park. From Hillfoot station i took the next train and alighted at Westerton station. Straight up to an access point into the woodland then followed the path near the boundary before venturing into the centre to explore the summit contenders, a large stone, clumps of earth near trees but rhododendrons have been largely cleared in this area. Lots of dry pieces of wood lying about. Re-traced steps back to Westerton station, enjoying the cooler conditions in the woodland, on a scorching day in the Glasgow area. | Dazingdale | 28/05/2018 |
From Westerton station to Cairnhill Woods - signposted - and laid-out footpaths through woodland. | neimcv | 21/09/2017 |

P alleyway halfway up W side near church. Nice spot on a frosty morning. | agentmancuso | 25/03/2017 |
Stroll through the woods on a wet afternoon, Summit rhodies now cropped and access easier | Colin Crawford | 21/12/2016 |
Walked from my flat along the Switchback to Canniesburn Rd, then Cairnhill View, Then bear R. Highest point seems to be in the middle of recently grubbed clump of Rhodedendron thicket First attempt to do a Tump for it being a Tump. Pointless as no view. | Thearlaichdubh | 16/07/2016 |
From Henderland Rd. Easy walk from south, just off path. Got a strange look off a local until he realisde what I was looking for and he then pointed me in direction of HP. | PeterD | 16/07/2016 |
