Overview

A leisurely walk starting at Greenrig car park on Lochgreen Rd. We will head up for the Union Canal then walk to the Falkirk Wheel upper basin. From there we will walk to Roughcastle for a lunch stop at the Rowan Tree burn before heading back through Canada Woods to the car park. Please register with me if you would like to come on the walk. ( Note: Parking is free if you use the cafe, otherwise it is £2.50.
