Falkirk Cycle Loop

This route climbs up into the hills above Falkirk before descending to Avonbridge and skirting the lovely River Avon. It includes cycling on tarmac and some tracks. Muiravonside Country Park is worth taking a bit of time to explore and Newparks Farm within is popular with animal lovers, especially those with an affinity for chickens. The last stage is a flat stretch along the Union Canal back to the start.
