Long tunnel with lights but better to have yours on as well.

The Falkirk Tunnel is a canal tunnel of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal, dug through Prospect Hill in Falkirk, Scotland. Completed in 1822, the tunnel is 630 meters long. It was built because the owner of Callendar House objected to the view from his property being obstructed by the proposed canal.

Very dark and wet - take a torch and be prepared for wet ground and some drips coming through the roof - unusual bit to walk through and worth doing though. Was a much longer tunnel than I was expecting.

Wide tyre and low pressures or walk, I didn't fell comfortable riding a Brompton through (although I was also using clipless)

I found this a bit scary - might be worth considering dismounting and walking instead, especially for less-experienced riders.

Remember to bring your lights !

Yes,watch going through the tunnel very slippy when cycling .. better to walk through..

Just to the left of the towpath.

As well as going in and seeing the house, there is plenty to do within the grounds. Cafe, woodland walks, and a section of the Antonine wall. Free but limited parking, and children’s play area. There’s also a lot of wildlife, and longer walks to the kelpies or Falkirk wheel are possible.

The Falkirk Tunnel is 630 meters long, 18 feet wide, 19 feet high and has a 5 foot wide towpath. It passes the Union Canal under Prospect Hill in Falkirk, connecting Falkirk to the heart of Edinburgh. The tunnel was built almost 200 years ago and was originally used to transport coal. Today boaters can explore the Union Canal and eventually the Falkirk Tunnel. The tunnel now features an improved lighting system using colorful LED and traditional white lights to highlight the Victorian engineering, contrasting with the oil lamps that originally lit the tunnel when it opened. In 2016, a programmable lighting system was installed in the tunnel. Nevertheless, the lighting conditions in the tunnel are not particularly bright, it is more of a diffuse light. The Antonius Wall runs over the tunnel; it was part of the British Limes and the second large rampart built by the Romans in the north of Britain.

Amazing experience. It's like a real cave with water dripping off the curved ceiling. If a cyclist passes you by, be careful - very dark in there!

Push your bike along path due to narrow width.

Be careful it’s slippy inside the tunnel!

Very narrow with limited passing places, Wet & Slippy underfoot (or tyre)
