Where is Bellsmyre?
Bellsmyre is located some 1.5 miles to the north of Dumbarton town centre. Dumbarton is situated on the banks of the River Clyde although the River Leven which drains from Loch Lomond runs through the town itself. The town is dominated by Dumbarton Rock which has long been recognised for its strategic importance due to the commanding views that it affords of the River Clyde over to Agyllshire, Loch Lomond and the mountains beyond.
Bellsmyre is bounded by the A82 to the south and ’the Crags’, a rocky part of the Old Kilpatrick hills, to the north. The western part is bounded by farmland, and to the east, Garshake and High Overtoun.
The area itself is hilly and although as a result many of our properties have fantastic views, Bellsmyre as such may not be entirely suitable for people with mobility problems.
