Falkirk High Railway Station
This 32 mile long waterway travels over aqueducts (including Britain’s
second longest), through tunnels, past tranquil scenery and into the
heart of Edinburgh.
16
One of two pedestrian access points into Grangemouth Town. The new
canal at The Kelpies, with a new towpath connecting into Grangemouth’s
Old Town, provides an excellent new link past the Old Town/Glensburgh
and onto the NCN 76.
Callendar House
18
With a history stretching back to the 12th century, and a part of the
Antonine Wall within its boundaries, this is the grandfather of parks.
There’s over 170 acres to play in, mature woodlands and gardens and,
when you’ve worked up an appetite, there’s the Teashop at the Stables.
Primrose Road Underpass
This hidden gorge is a real delight with its waterfalls, stream and wood of
yew, sycamore, oak, holly and larch trees. Stop and spot dippers, grey
wagtails, kingfishers or even tawny owls and buzzards.
A circular cycle route connecting
The Helix, The Falkirk Wheel and
Callendar Park.

Opened to the public in April 2014 and standing 30 metres high, The
Kelpies rear up dramatically from the ground. These steel equine statues
are the largest in the world and stand guard over the new extension to
the Forth & Clyde canal. Already creating a stir worldwide, these stunning
statues are set to be a new icon for Scotland.

The Wetland and River Carron
Stop here and see nature do what
nature does best. This quiet wetland
has grown quietly over recent years
and is now home to an abundance
of birds, beasties and aquatic wildlife.

The Helix
Helix Park is the newest and one of the most innovative parks in Scotland.
Use the 27km of new pathway to explore all four zones that make up
The Helix, or just explore Helix Park and it’s mixed biodiversity, from the
woodlands to the wetlands and the wildflower meadows to the native
bulbs, hedges and trees. Helix Park opened in September 2013 and features
an amazing splash jet area, the new timber adventure play zone, a 200
metre diameter lagoon, a Great Lawn for events and a lagoon side cafe.
Explore the varied places and spaces throughout The Helix - The HArTT
route will guide you through Helix South, Helix Park, past The Kelpies and
into Helix North.

The Falkirk Wheel
A series of colourful community woodland
artworks pop up in unexpected places:
‘The Human Sun Clock’, ‘Celtic Circle’, and
‘Love & Kisses’. Created by Langlees and
Bainsford residents and artist Jephson
Robb as part of The Helix, Love & Kisses
celebrates community connections, and
symbolises the healing that has taken
place in this community.
Opened in 2003, Falkirk Community Stadium is a great place to begin
your journey. Best known, of course, as home to Falkirk Football Club,
the stadium is also well used by local businesses, community and sporting
groups and now stands at one of the main entrances to the Helix.

So, hop on your bike, find your local
cycleway, join the HArTT and discover
the area from an exciting new
perspective.

Helix South
The best thing about the HArTT is that
you can enjoy a full day out exploring
with friends and family, dip in and out,
use it to keep fit or to travel to work.
Falkirk Tunnel

HArTT Cycle Route
Created out of a staggering
500km of cycleway, this 16
mile circular route begins
at The Helix and travels
by cycleway, towpath and
woodland trail past The
Kelpies, The Falkirk Wheel
and Callendar Park before
returning to The Helix.
The 16 mile route also passes many
lesser known but no less interesting
places to stop and enjoy the wildlife
and history or get active.

A place to discover
Maximum of two drinks per map and no cash alternative.
There’s a new adventure
to be had in Falkirk and
Grangemouth and it’s right
on your doorstep.
Let your imagination run riot in
this 695 metre long, seemingly
never-ending tunnel carved out
of rock. Pass under stalactites
and stalagmites, tell spooky stories
or learn why the ‘Laughin Greetin
Bridge’ at the south-eastern end
is so named.

Dawson Mural
This vibrant community mural created by a local youth group and graffiti
artist Scott Gilbert, transforms this underpass into outdoor artwork, and
acts as a gateway to the woodlands.

Carron Works
The largest iron works in Europe in its heyday, Carron was also famed
for the ‘Carronade’, a short smoothbore, cast iron cannon developed for
the Royal Navy in the 1770s. A replica of the Carronade can be viewed
in Callendar House.

Rosebank Distillery
Take a look at the still, mash and tun house and three bonded warehouses
of the B Listed former Rosebank Distillery (c 1817). Though the distillery is no
longer operational, Rosebank Whisky, a triple distilled single malt, now fetches
over £200 a bottle and plans are in place to bring the distillery back to life.
Standing as high as eight double decker buses stacked together and
weighing a mind blowing 1,200 tonnes, this is the world’s only rotating
boatlift. Take a trip on the Wheel, splash about in the Water Play Area
or grab something to eat.
11
Roughcastle Tunnel
Dismount
This short tunnel was carefully
excavated when the Wheel was
built so as not to disturb the remains
of the Roman Antonine Wall of
142ad under which it passes.
Enjoy a day out at The Falkirk Wheel with our special HArTT offer.
Just present your map and receive a 5% discount in the Cafe and
Shop and 10% off the full price of a standard boat trip on the Wheel.
Subject to availability. Exclusions apply.
