Welcome to Chapel Gardens... Close to shops and services, as well as some of Scotland's most impressive natural scenery, Chapel Gardens is also served by excellent transport links. Trains from Dalreoch Station, three quarters of a mile away, reach Queen Street Station in less than half an hour and call as destinations throughout Glasgow and central Scotland before arriving in Edinburgh. Additional services to Glasgow Central and Balloch bring Loch Lomond within a ten-minute train trip. Buses between Helensburgh and Glasgow stop a few yards away, and National Cycle Route 7, extending northwards via Balloch into the Highlands, passes a few yards from Dalreoch Station. There is a convenience store, a pharmacy, a newsagent and a choice of takeaways within a ten minute walk of Chapel Gardens. Around a mile away, Dumbarton High Street can be reached via the pleasant Shore Circular Walk along the Clyde. The High Street and Artizan Shopping Centre present fashion outlets, banks, supermarkets and local traders, interspersed with pubs, cafes and restaurants. A little further east, St James Retail Centre incorporates larger stores such as Asda, M&S, B&M, Argos and Halfords, with Morrisons and Lidl supermarkets nearby. The Meadow Centre on Dumbarton Common includes a swimming pool, fitness and health suites and a sports hall, and Dumbarton Golf Club is complemented by additional nearby courses at Cardross and Vale of Leven. As well as the dramatic Dumbarton Rock and Castle, local attractions include Denny Civic Theatre, which presents live music and drama, and the Scottish Maritime Museum, with its enormous Ship Model Tank where experimental designs were tested.  One of the most outstanding features of Chapel Gardens, however, is its proximity to magnificent outdoor amenities. There are delightful Clydesdale walks nearby and Balloch Country Park and the vast Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park are just five miles away. Local green spaces include nearby Cunninghame Graham Memorial Park and Dumbarton's vast Levengrove Park, and there are extensive walking and cycling routes leading further afield, taking in reservoirs, lochs and community woodlands. Dalreoch Primary and St Michael's RC Primary schools are both within a mile of Chapel Gardens, and secondary is provided by Dumbarton Academy in the town centre and Our Lady & St Patrick's High School in the north of the town. Dumbarton Health Centre houses five GP practices and a spectrum of specialist services, and Levengrove Dental Care is the nearest of Dumbarton's three dental surgeries.
