Starting from The Helix, one of Scotland’s newest and most innovative parks, this circular route travels by cycleway, towpath and woodland trail past The Kelpies, The Falkirk Wheel and Callendar Park.
The route links 16 communities around Falkirk’s perimeter, and takes in many of the area’s lesse known ‘hidden gems’ and attractions. With plenty of opportunities to pause and enjoy spectacular wildlife and history, the route is ideal for splitting into smaller sections as an alternative to a full day out.
Running mostly on traffic-free paths and tracks, the route has only one very short, lightly trafficked on-road section. However, please note, there are several road crossings and some sections where shared-use paths next to busy roads are used to link the route
