Garnethill Women’s Heritage Walk

Our guided Women’s Heritage Walks provide an engaging way to explore Glasgow and learn about extraordinary, but often overlooked, women who’ve lived, worked, and enriched these areas.

Garnethill Women’s Heritage Walk, Saturday 4th September, 2pm to 4pm, Meet near CCA, £6/10, 16+

From the bustle of Sauchiehall Street to quiet and leafy back streets, this bohemian enclave is full of surprises and has been home to many remarkable women who have made Garnethill one of the most exciting cultural and multicultural hotspots in Glasgow.

More information about this and other GWL Women’s Heritage Walks, including downloadable maps and audio tours, is available here and you can see all our upcoming heritage walks here.

“Interesting and engaging from start to finish.  Enjoyed hearing from all the guides. Their enthusiasm really comes across.” – Heritage Walk participant

Accessibility

This walk takes place on pavements around Garnethill and also crosses Garnethill Park where there are steps. This is a hilly area and some sections are steep whilst not all pavements have banisters. Our guides are happy to recommend and accompany attendees on different flatter routes to each stop, where possible. If you’d like to speak to someone about the walk in advance and let us know your access needs, please contact us – we are happy to answer any questions.
