Glasgow Hotels perfect for exploring the Scottish countryside
Scotland is well-renowned across the world for being a beautiful country that is full of aesthetically pleasing countryside. Located in the heart of Scotland on the River Clyde, Glasgow is an attractive city in its own right with historic architecture and relaxing parks, but it is also well situated for visitors who want to explore the great Scottish outdoors. Situated in the country’s west central lowlands, to the north of Glasgow are the Scottish Highlands which tourists can explore and brave the Scottish weather.
One of the many hotels in Glasgow in which visitors can stay will act as an ideal base from which to travel to places further afield. One place to the north west of Glasgow that offers beautiful scenery is the world famous Loch Lomond. Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park is home to stunning scenery throughout the year, with snow topped mountains during the winter and glistening lakes in the summer. A beautiful part of Scotland, keen walkers can enjoy both low level walking and more challenging hill climbs, whilst more adventurous visitors can take part in some kayaking or mountain biking or just enjoy a relaxing round of golf.
A scenic route that follows the shores of Loch Lomond is the West Highland Way that has been in existence for 25 years. This stunning route passes through the Mugdock Country Park and continues all the way to Lairigmore and Glen Nevis. On the way travellers will come across the delights of the Devil’s Staircase and scenery that can only be found in the Scottish highlands and is completely unique to that area.
Lovers of the great outdoors can enjoy parks in the Glasgow as well once they have chosen from a wide selection of Glasgow hotels. Hotels such as the Fraser Suites Glasgow and Ramada Glasgow are located close to the Glasgow Necropolis, a fascinating Victorian garden that is situated adjacent to the Glasgow Cathedral. The Glasgow Necropolis cemetery is full of beautiful tombs that have been intensively designed and is an intriguing if somewhat sombre attraction.
Glasgow is also home to Kelvingrove Park, where a diverse range of wildlife and habitats can be found. The park has been described as an oasis within Glasgow, with the public park spanning 85 acres within the city. An urban haven for wildlife, the park straddles the River Klein to produce a tranquil environment, whilst the world famous Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is also located within the park, which is one of Glasgow’s many cultural attractions.
By taking advantage of the beautiful scenery that can be found in Glasgow and the surrounding Scottish countryside, a trip to Glasgow can be a real bargain and can be made even better value for money by staying in one of the many cheap hotels in Glasgow. Visitors can enjoy the scenery from the comfort of an open topped bus, but those tourists who are looking for a slightly more action packed holiday can explore the city for themselves and enjoy the experiences that are offered by the vast amount of attractions and festivals that take place throughout the year.
