Rising to 278m, Cockleroy Hill features a trig point and offers breathtaking 360-degree views. It's located west of Beecraigs Country Park and stands as a prominent high point that can be included in a loop around the area. It was once a hillfort and its strategic position becomes clear when you reach the summit

The Union Canal crosses the River Avon via the Avon Aqueduct. It was completed in 1821 and built to a design by Hugh Baird, with advice from Thomas Telford. It's 810 feet (250 m) long and 86 feet (26 m) high. Both the John Muir Way and the Union Canal towpath cross the aqueduct.

Worth the small detour from the main route to visit this castle. Great views across the Forth and to the bridges.

Well worth a visit.

Cockleroy Hill at 278m has a trig point and stunning 360-degree views. I's a standalone high point to the west of Beecraigs country park and an ascent can be added to a loop of that area. This was historically a hill fort and when you're there it's obvious why the location was chosen.

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.

Amazing 360° views from the top. If you're on a bike go back down the way you came.

Lovely gravel trail through the trees that hugs the shoreline of the firth. Although it's unsurfaced it's manageable on a road bike. We were loaded up for touring and it was a little bit bumpy but definitely worth riding.
