Welcome to
Keepers Gate Ph4
Keeper's Gate - Phase 4
Once the picturesque setting of Glasgow Zoo, chosen for its attractive landscape and wonderfully convenient location, Keeper’s Gate is fast becoming one of the most sought-after residential neighbourhoods in the city. Set alongside Calderbraes Golf Course and buffered by open green space, the sense of spacious calm is complemented by exceptionally fast and easy access to both Glasgow city centre and the whole of the central belt.
Outdoor activities
Keeper’s Gate has an excellent selection of outdoor leisure amenities in easy reach. Less than three miles to the north, Drumpelier Country Park includes 500 acres of heath and woodland and two natural lochs with picnic sites, an adventure playground and facilities for boating and angling. To the west, the vast Strathclyde Country Park has a watersports centre based on Strathclyde Loch, complementing the mature woods and wetland habitats that offer endlessly fascinating walking, cycling, horse-riding, bird-watching and sunbathing. Strathclyde Country Park also hosts major events, from regattas to exhibitions and country fairs, throughout the year. And even closer to Keeper’s Gate, the 13th-century Bothwell Castle stands in beautiful grounds overlooking the River Clyde.
Sport and leisure
There are several gyms and health clubs in the area around Keeper’s Gate, including the Caledonia Centre, just a few minutes walk from the development, and the JJB Health Club at Glasgow Fort. There are also five golf clubs in easy reach, including the nine-hole course at Calderbraes Golf Club, just a short walk away, and the excellent 18-hole Sandyhills Golf Club, around a mile and-a-?half to the east. Other leisure facilities serving Keeper’s Gate include Uddingston Library, which lends music CDs as well as books, and has a number of computers for free public use.
Transport
Close to the junction of the M73 and M74, with the M8 just over a mile away, Keeper’s Gate is ideally situated for travel throughout central and southern Scotland. There are nearby suburban rail stations at Baillieston, less than half a mile away, and at Uddingston, and the development is well served by local bus routes.
