Things to Do in Inverclyde

Inverclyde's stretch along the Firth of Clyde gives its attractions a strong outdoor and maritime character. Gourock has the seafront promenade and the outdoor pool, one of the few tidal pools still open in Scotland, plus Battery Park and Gourock Park for views across to Argyll. Lunderston Bay, just along the coast, is a good spot for a beach walk or a picnic away from the town centres.

Greenock and Port Glasgow add the history and the indoor options. The McLean Museum and Art Gallery covers the area's shipbuilding and seafaring past, while Newark Castle sits right on the Port Glasgow waterfront. For wet days or family visits, Waterfront Cinema, Funworld Leisure Play Centre and Laser Matrix are all in Greenock, and Finlaystone Country Estate on the western edge of the county offers gardens and woodland walks to fill a longer day out.
