Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, but for a city of its size, it's surprisingly easy to escape the hustle and bustle and quickly find yourself surrounded by quiet, peaceful Scottish countryside.
Glasgow is fortunate to be surrounded by pleasant rural scenery on all sides. To the south and east is an area known as the Clyde Valley, sometimes referred to as 'Scotland's Garden Valley', and to the west is the old country of Renfrewshire. Both areas are home to a rich farming heritage with plenty of great rural experiences to enjoy - all within easy reach of Glasgow.
You'll find an array of different agritourism experiences to enjoy in the Clyde Valley and Renfrewshire. Being so close to a large population centre makes this area a great destination for a weekend trip away. There's various accommodation options to choose from, including unique and luxury 'bothies' and lodges, to beautifully presented and traditional croft houses.
There's also plenty of activities for the whole family to enjoy, including exciting trailer tours and farm animal experiences.
