Development: The Hedgerows

The Hedgerows

Welcome to The Hedgerows…

Midway between Cambuslang and Blantyre, with striking open countryside just yards away, The Hedgerows has extensive transport connections with surrounding towns such as Hamilton and East Kilbride. Glasgow city centre is just 20 minutes drive away, and junction 4 of the M74, three miles to the north, brings fast access to the motorway network for travel to Edinburgh, Stirling and beyond. 

Trains from Newton Station, approximately a mile from the development and with a large car park, reach Glasgow Central in under 25 minutes. There are also direct rail services to Larkhall, Cumbernauld, Motherwell and Dalmuir. Frequent bus services between Hamilton and Glasgow stop a few yards away, and National Cycle Route 75, linking Edinburgh with the west coast, provides a route into Glasgow along the Clyde Walkway.

A convenient shopping precinct five minutes’ walk from The Hedgerows includes a Tesco Express, a pharmacy, two takeaways and a dental surgery. The larger selection in Hamilton Road, less than a mile away, brings convenience stores and newsagents, a family butcher and a wider selection of takeaways. Cambuslang and Blantyre, both within two miles, offers a comprehensive choice of shops and services, from hardware to supermarkets. 

The Hedgerows lies close to miles of open countryside, with Redlees Park and the River Clyde to the north, and Dechmont Hill to the south providing popular destinations for walkers and cyclists. Cultural and leisure attractions in the area range from historic features like Bothwell Castle, and the David Livingstone Birthplace Museum, to the tyre slides and pirate ship at Hamilton Water Palace and the rides at M&Ds Scotland Theme Park. 

There are 25m swimming pools and well-equipped gyms at Blantyre Leisure Centre and slightly further away, Lifestyle Eastfield in Cambuslang. Golf facilities include clubs at Cambuslang and Kirkhill, both a little over two miles , and Glasgow’s enormous choice of galleries and museums, restaurants, theatres, cinemas and live entertainment venues are in easy reach. 

The Hedgerows is in the catchment areas for Hallside Primary and St Charles RC primary schools, both within around two miles, and for Cathkin High School in Cambuslang and Trinity RC High School in Eastfield. South Lanarkshire Council provides free transport for pupils who live more than a mile from their catchment primary school, or more than two miles from their catchment high school. There is a full-time medical practice with a staff of six GPs at the Craigallian Avenue Medical Practice, 20 minutes’ walk away
