It is the start of the cruise ship season here in Greenock. Over the next few months many thousands of visitors will arrive hoping to explore what the area has to offer. They couldn't have come to a better place! Not only does the area boast the most amazing scenery, but we have a lovely, friendly community who are only too willing to help visitors find their way around and tell them about what they should visit locally.
Maps of the area are available at many venues, but if you are planning your visit in advance then you can download a map from the Inverclyde Council website - just click on the link. (Inverclyde is the name of the local authority area which includes Greenock, Port Glasgow and Gourock.) Here you will find lots of interesting information for visitors - maps, walks, trails and information about local historical figures - well worth a visit.
