Website | EmailWander through this tranquil urban park and admire Kibble Palace, built in 1873 to provide Glasgow University's botany students with hot-house plants. The domed glasshouse and statues are attractive and hard to miss. If you're there before 4.30pm, take the opportunity to look round the glasshouses and study their stunning collection of orchids and tropical plants. Children seem to enjoy the huge exotic cacti in particular. In summer, locals and tourists alike flock here for picnics and sunbathing and you can take a walk along the riverside and watch the squirrels.
