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.

On a nice day it’s the perfect little spot to take a wee break and grab a bite or a drink. It’s situated right on the tow path so you don’t need to worry about finding it!

Good straights and class scenery. Roots at certain sections growing under the tarmac, which can make it a bit of a tough getting the power down. Lovely views.

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.
