Larbert Station to Falkirk Grahamston Station
A surprisingly green and varied short walk for an apparently urban route, making good use of green spaces including a pleasant stretch of the River Carron, a cemetery, woodland and a short section of the Forth and Clyde Canal and with urban road walking at each end. Riverside paths can be muddy. Includes a short stretch of the Forth and Clyde Canal towpath, passing the Rosebank Distillery.
Easy: 5km, moderate ascents.
The descent to the riverside path from the cemetery is muddy and easy to miss; a surfaced parallel path through the park above the river is a mud-free alternative. Care needed crossing the busy A9 to reach the canal towpath, and passing through the Falkirk Council yard.
Lunch: Good facilities at both ends.
