It follows parts of two Victorian railway lines closed mid C.20th, linked by historic livestock droves and crosses beautiful rolling chalk downland and parts of the rivers Itchen, Arle and Dever. Both old railways were important in starting the Victorian boom in watercress production, hence the name of the trail.
The route can be run east to west or west to east.
The route takes in many local towns including Bowling, Glasgow, Bishopbriggs, Kirkintilloch, Kilsyth, Bonnybridge, Falkirk to name a few.
