About Carnwadric
Where to stay in Carnwadric
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Carnwadric is residential ground, so beds are scarce, and most visitors to this side of Glasgow book in the centre and travel south for a specific address. Thornliebank sits just south. The village keeps Eastwood Parish Church on Thornliebank Road and Thornliebank Woodlands Parish Church on Woodlands Road, which gives the area its nearest recognisable centre.
Arden closes the western side.
About Carnwadric
What are the main landmarks in Carnwadric?
Two parish churches serve the ground. Eastwood Parish Church stands on Thornliebank Road and Thornliebank Woodlands Parish Church on Woodlands Road, both of them in the village of Thornliebank on Carnwadric's southern border. The Auldhouse Burn marks the other side.
The park to the north and the Arden housing estate to the west close the remaining edges, which leaves Carnwadric a residential block hemmed on all four sides by something with its own name.
What is the history of Carnwadric?
The older names sit outside its border. Eastwood Parish Church and Thornliebank Woodlands Parish Church both belong to Thornliebank, the village on the southern side, and it is their parishes rather than Carnwadric's own that carry the longer record here. The estates take the rest.
Carnwadric and the Arden housing estate beside it are residential ground, laid out south of the River Clyde and inside Glasgow, with the Auldhouse Burn holding the eastern limit.
Where is Carnwadric?
A park closes Carnwadric to the north, the Arden housing estate to the west, Thornliebank to the south and the Auldhouse Burn to the east.
