Route Heritage – Places of Interest – Kentigern Lanark Loop

From the entrance gateway to the Visitor Centre walk a little in the upstream direction and take the road on the topside of the Counting House, Caithness Row, and follow for a short distance to its end. A path leads uphill from here which is later signed as The Beeches. Follow this path all the way until it reaches the Main A73 and turn left. After a short distance the entrance gate of a graveyard is encountered. Continue to a second gate and enter. Once inside the graveyard keep heading generally rightwards finally to encounter the ruins of the Kentigern Church.

From the back of the Kentigern Church exit by a path through a pair of small pillars back to the Main Road and follow the signs to the Town Centre. Continue all the way down the Main Street to the Town House with its statue of William Wallace. Cross the Wellgate and take Castlebank Street on the left past Lidl and across from a small car park go Left into Castle Park, once the site of Lanark Castle (of which nothing remains). Follow the paths rightwards keeping to the topside of the park eventually to exit onto St Patrick’s Road where you re-join the Clyde Walkway.
