Bridge of Weir is located seven miles west of Paisley on the A761 and sits close to the River Gryffe.

The main street has an interesting selection of shops ranging from children's wear and hardware to travel agencies and coffee shops.


The village has two excellent golf courses and is also home to the internationally renowned Bridge of Weir Leather Company.

The national cycle network from Edinburgh to Greenock passes the area and is popular with walkers and bird watchers.

Bridge of Weir, like neighbouring Houston, offers excellent walks along the River Gryffe and you can walk from one village to another, incorporating the Crosslee area.

Bridge of Weir does not have a train station so if you intend to travel by train, you can change to bus at Paisley or Glasgow. Several busses run to Bridge of Weir from Paisley and Glasgow.

If travelling by car, Bridge of Weir is easily accessible from the A737.
