The Clyde Green Corridor could be said to enter the city from the west at the Erskin e
Bridge. Most of the northern bank consists of industrial or post-industrial land relating t o
Glasgow's shipbuilding industries . The south bank is greener in this area and consists of
farmland through Erskine with a few local industrial sites, until it reaches the confluence
of the Black Cart Water and the Clyde, where there is a large golf course in the histori c
landscape of Blytheswood House . Further west, the industrial quality of the Clyd e
Corridor becomes more pronounced with the shipbuilding yards at Clydebank and i n
Govan. The river from this point to Glasgow Green really becomes little more than a n
open corridor of water contained within engineered banks and quay walls . The ful l
potential of the Clyde as a green corridor through the heart of the city has never bee n
fully realised . The mass of derelict industrial land along its banks creates som e
opportunity for this situation to be rectified as the land is redeveloped . A cycle path and
Clyde Walkway provide non-vehicular access along the Clyde corridor and the river is
still navigable as far as Anderston Quay . The cycleway which runs along an old rail line
potentially creates a further green corridor which could provide a secondary link wher e
industrial development interrupts the Clyde Corridor.
