The Llangollen Walk

The Pontyscyttle aqueduct which carries the Llangollen canal & towpath 1000 feet over the River Dee 120 feet below in a narrow iron trough and is both the longest & highest navigable aqueduct in the world.

Kennet & Avon Walk

The lady's pool is a particularly broad stretch of the Kennet and Avon canal designed to look like a lake and forms part of our Kennet and Avon Walk.

Lancaster Canal

The partially restored Lancaster follows an interesting route into the Lake District & passes close to the sea as it provides excellent views of the Cumbrian hills.

Edinburgh - Falkirk Wheel

Walk into the centre of Edinburgh

Taking in the modern engineering brilliance of the Falkirk wheel, the Avon and Almond aqueducts and the Falkirk tunnel plus the historic town of Linlithgow before ending in the centre of Edinburgh

The walk commences in Falkirk and shortly takes you to the Falkirk Wheel. Completed in 2002 the wheel raises and lowers boats 40 metres - a true feat of modern engineering. 

 

The wheel is also a good place to explore the remains of the Antonine Wall constructed by the Romans between the Forth and Clyde. 

 

Shortly after the wheel you will enter the Falkirk tunnel.  600 metres long the tunnel is broad and at least 12 feet high and dug out of solid rock providing an interesting passage.

 

The route also carries you over two stunning aqueducts - the Avon and Almond.  Both are 85 feet high with the Avon being the second longest in Britain.

 

The route provides an overnight stay in Linlithgow the birthplace of mary Queen of Scots and a fine historic Scottish town.
