Overview

Starting at the Falkirk Wheel we will walk along the footpath beside the Forth & Clyde canal to the Kelpies, where we will stop for lunch. There is a café there or you can bring your own lunch. This is a flat, circular walk and we will return by the same route to the Falkirk Wheel. There is a café there too and we will stop there for refreshments before driving home. There is a car park at the Falkirk Wheel where drivers will need to pay for a day’s parking.
