Development: Thornly Park

Thornly Park

Welcome to Thornly Park

Less than four miles from Glasgow Airport, Thornly Park is around fifteen minutes’ drive from Glasgow city centre via the M8. The road links are complemented by outstanding rail services. Paisley benefits from two local train stations, at Gilmour Street and Canal Street, and Barrhead station is also nearby. Frequent fast trains from Gilmour Street Station, two miles away reach Glasgow Central in around ten minutes. Additional services from Canal Street Station and Barrhead Station, a mile and a half to the north and south respectively, run approximately every half hour to Glasgow Central, and there are also direct rail links with Kilmarnock, from Barrhead, and with Ayr and Wemyss Bay from Gilmour Street. Buses to the railway stations stop just outside the development. 

Within a mile, there is a Morrisons supermarket and local shopping precinct at Glenburn with a convenience store, pharmacist, post office, family butcher, health centre and community centre. Shops at Barrhead to the south include Asda, Lidl, Tesco supermarkets and Paisley with its magnificent architectural and cultural attractions including the breathtaking Abbey, the Coats Observatory and the exciting Arts Centre presents a superb blend of the old and the new.

The partially pedestrianised Paisley town centre features a variety of shopping environments, from traditional streets filled with shops, cafes and restaurants, to the twice monthly Farmers’ Market and high street fashion and sports brands in the Paisley Centre. The fashion and technology stores and Showcase cinema at Phoenix Retail Park are complemented by major retail centres at Silverburn and Braehead, with its cinema, skating snowsport and indoor climbing centres, and live concerts and sports at Braehead Arena.

The wide choice of sports and fitness amenities include a gym and swimming pool at Lagoon Leisure Centre, and there are two local golf courses. Thornly Park is set on the edge of the vast Gleniffer Braes Country Park, presenting endless opportunities for walking and cycling through moors and woodlands that provide habitats for a rich variety of wildlife. With the Glenburn and Harelaw Reservoirs, Craigie Linn waterfall and Glen Park just a short walk away, the development is the perfect base for outdoor activities. 

The homes are in the catchment area for Lochfield Primary and St Charles RC Primary Schools, and for St Andrew’s Academy and Gleniffer High School, all within around two miles. Glenburn Health Centre and Glenburn Dental Practice are both situated in Glenburn shopping precinct, and the Royal Alexandra Hospital, less than two miles away, has a 24-hour Emergency Department.
