Forth and Clyde Canal Towpath

Highlight • River

The Forth and Clyde Canal was constructed in 1790. It was successful initially but closed in the 1960s. Today it's a leisure destination with a brilliant towpath making an ideal cycling outing.

The Thomas Muir Heritage Trail

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice and quiet cycle path. If you wanna go fast, the road is a better choice, both because of people + kids and because of the often bumpy terrain. Great for a relaxing cycle with great views.
