Even though this part of Wishaw is mainly residential housing, Greenhead does have a few places of note, such as Cambusnethan Cemetery and Greenhead Moss Community Nature Park.[1]

Since it is close to Wishaw Main Street, Greenhead has no shops. The suburb can be accessed either from the A721 or A722 roads.
