Newark Castle

This site is closed for now. We’re working hard to gradually reopen the places you love while making sure the experience is safe for everyone. Built by George Maxwell in the 15th century, this elegant and still virtually intact castle was enlarged by his descendent Patrick Maxwell in the 16th century. Patrick was infamous for murdering two of his neighbours and beating his wife of 44 years who bore him 16 children. The oldest part of the castle is a tower built soon after 1478, with a gatehouse. The connecting range was added in 1597-1599 by the wicked Patrick Maxwell, in a most elegant style.

Lyle Hill

Reviewed By michaelkO4378UK

Can't believe this was the first time I've been here in all the years of coming through Greenock or visiting Greenock. The view from this vantage point is Incredible. We had the best day weather wise but it would be amazing in any weather.

The Esplanade

Reviewed By JimO1077

The esplanade is beautiful and a great place if you want a long walk mostly flat and great for a power walk and it is right on the river Clyde so some great views in summer and in winter if clear it is also very close to Greenock town centre that within walking distance I have walked myself many a time when I was a lot younger and it was great
