Forth and Clyde Canal Towpath

Highlight • Cycleway

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.

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.
