The Clyde Arc Hidden Walkway

While thousands cross the Clyde Arc (affectionately known as the Squinty Bridge) daily, few discover the quiet walkway that runs beneath its southern approach. This path follows the river at water level, tucked between the bridge structure and the Clyde itself. The perspective is unique—looking up at the bridge's distinctive curved white arch from below while watching the river flow past. The walkway continues under older bridges too, creating a hidden riverside corridor where traffic noise fades and you can hear the Clyde's movement. Graffiti artists have adorned some bridge pillars, creating unofficial galleries. Early mornings bring dog walkers and joggers; evenings offer reflections of city lights on the water. It's a reminder that Glasgow was built on the river, and that the Clyde still defines the city even as modern structures span it. The path connects to the wider Clyde Walkway system, but this particular section feels deliberately forgotten—a secret urban space reclaimed by those who walk it.
