Be a tourist in your own town & village - Port Glasgow & Kilmacolm Now Full

Discover the heritage of Port Glasgow and Kilmacolm and view the regeneration of the area.

The Tour will start at Church Street, Port Glasgow and is a Tour of contrasts – the old and the new

In Port Glasgow we start by visiting the Comet, the stones in memory of Stanley Spencer who spent some time, as a war artist in the shipyards of Port Glasgow, and the new houses at Kingston Dock near the Town Centre. A short drive takes us to Ferguson Marine’s new shipyard then visit the grounds of historic Newark Castle. We then follow part of the Heritage Coastal Trail to Parklea and see the new modern houses at Woodhall before driving through the countryside to Kilmacolm.

Kilmacolm, with its farms, mansions, churches, Charles Rennie Mackintosh homes, Birkmyre Park & its newly opened Heritage Gallery in the Community Centre has a fascinating history and here there will be time to visit some of the open buildings, as well as enjoying a coffee or ice cream before returning to Church Street by a scenic route with wonderful views over the River Clyde.
