Overview

This is a moderate circular walk starting at Linlithgow Canal basin, the walk follows part of the River Avon heritage trail and part of the John Muir Way, exploring the Avon Aqueduct and Muiravonside country park, before returning to Linlithgow via the south side of the loch.

Please note - there are steps descending from the aqueduct; some parts of the route may be muddy after rain.

PLEASE CONTACT THE WALK LEADER BY TEXT TO SECURE YOUR PLACE ON THIS WALK, NO LATER THAN 24 HOURS BEFORE THE WALK.

Our policy is to try and car share where possible and split the cost of fuel. We are always in need of volunteer drivers. If you can offer a lift, please let the walk leader know.
