But you don’t have to trek it’s full length in order to appreciate the scenic beauty and abundance of wildlife. A short stroll or even a jog along any stretch of the 35 mile long towpath will allow you to experience the serenity of canal life while getting a healthy workout at the same time. The Forth & Clyde Canal towpath makes for an excellent walk suitable for all ages. There’s nothing quite as invigorating or stress relieving as getting on a bike and cycling through miles of beautiful countryside. Cycling the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath has never been easier or safer, and it’s the perfect way to keep the whole family fit and healthy. The 35 miles of towpath has been restored with the cyclist in mind - it’s safe, traffic and pollution free and an ideal route for cyclists of all levels.
