Being a circular tour, it returns to the starting point. However, it can also be completed in sections or in its entirety, on the ground or from the comfort of your armchair! Walking directions are typed in italics.

The majority of the tour should be suitable for wheelchairs and prams. It is mainly on flat ground; exceptions are the optional Wellpark Loop and the Shipbuilding loop. These points are highlighted in the commentary and rejoining information is included. Alternative wheelchair access to the Wellpark Loop is via Regent Street; access to Scotts' Dock & Memorial is via parking in Westburn Way, and for the 9/11 cairn and fire station parking is available in St Andrew's Street.

Being outside, there is nothing to prevent you from bringing your dog too! Please note, there are no public toilets on this route. Refreshments can be bought in a number of outlets in William Street, Cathcart Street, Brymner Street, Customhouse Hotel (behind Customhouse) and Morrisons (on the Shipbuilding Loop).

Please take care on cobbled surfaces which can become slippery when wet and use pedestrian crossings where possible to cross roads. Care should be exercised when near the river's edge and.
