Best walks from Bridge of Allan

Dunblane Station to Bridge of Allan Station

An accessible, attractive walk entirely on roads with a good surface, the central third closed to traffic, through woods on the old Glen Road. A mix of quiet roads and a traffic-free closed road/cycle path and with a footpath that narrows along Glen Road and a bit more of a hill than the alternative route. The traffic-free central section is part of the National Cycle Network spur connecting Bridge of Allan with Doune.

Easy: 6km, moderate ascents.

Bridge of Allan Station to Stirling Station

lovely views. A very direct but dull, functional route following the pavement next to the main road between the two towns, with reasonable-quality lit pavements throughout. The exception is a steep and cobbled humpbacked bridge over the River Forth.

Easy: 4km, moderate ascents.

The humpbacked bridge over the River Forth is steep and cobbled, with 100m of cobbles and a 9% gradient on one side. The parallel road bridge is closed to pedestrians.
