The Cafe at Canada Wood

Highlight • Parking

Great place to stop for lunch before during or after your ride, great freshly cooked quality meals. Can get very busy though but worth the wait.

Lionthorn Woods

Highlight • Forest

Pretty private woodland on the edge of Falkirk with walking and cycling trails. The John Muir way runs through the woodlands here too (johnmuirway.org/). Well surfaced and great to explore year-round at zero cost.

Falkirk Tunnel

Highlight • Cycleway

I found this a bit scary - might be worth considering dismounting and walking instead, especially for less-experienced riders.

Falkirk Tunnel

Highlight • Bridge

The Falkirk Tunnel is 630 meters long, 18 feet wide, 19 feet high and has a 5 foot wide towpath. It passes the Union Canal under Prospect Hill in Falkirk, connecting Falkirk to the heart of Edinburgh. The tunnel was built almost 200 years ago and was originally used to transport coal. Today boaters can explore the Union Canal and eventually the Falkirk Tunnel.
The tunnel now features an improved lighting system using colorful LED and traditional white lights to highlight the Victorian engineering, contrasting with the oil lamps that originally lit the tunnel when it opened. In 2016, a programmable lighting system was installed in the tunnel. Nevertheless, the lighting conditions in the tunnel are not particularly bright, it is more of a diffuse light.
The Antonius Wall runs over the tunnel; it was part of the British Limes and the second large rampart built by the Romans in the north of Britain.
