I am glad you all are enjoying these day-trip posts, but did you know that on the day we visited Bishop Loch, we also stopped by Lochend Burn? The entrance was just in the opposite direction.
To be honest, we originally headed over because I was hungry and looking for something to eat, but since we were already nearby, we thought, why not? It was the perfect opportunity to see what was there and enjoy somewhere new. It is not a massive location, so it took far less time to explore, making it a fantastic, breezy addition to our day.
Once we had sorted out something to eat, we decided to have a wander around Lochend Burn and see what it had to offer.
We started from the Bishop Loch gateway area, crossed towards the distinctive red steel footbridge over the M73, and followed the paths along Lochend Burn before looping back the same way. The full walk took just under an hour at an easy pace, with plenty of stops along the way to take in the surroundings.
Tucked away on the boundary between Easterhouse and North Lanarkshire, Lochend Burn is a peaceful watercourse that plays a vital role in connecting the local landscape. If you are already visiting Bishop Loch, crossing over to explore these quiet trails is a no-brainer.
