Getting There

Note: We walked this section as part of the Union Canal path, therefore there are some detours.

  • We took the John Muir Cyclepath that continues along the canal instead of entering Hallglen. Note that there is a narrow underpass under the railway line should you want to follow the John Muir Way footpath.

  • We wanted to experience the eerie Falkirk Tunnel and therefore choose the towpath to Falkirk High to join the John Muir Way.
