After the visit at the centre we will head towards and pass through the small quaint village of Chartershall, on a minor road and then onto a forest track.

After a visit to Duncarron Fort you will walk along the shoreline of Carronvalley reservoir, which has amazing scenic views for you to admire. After leaving the shoreline, there is a steady climb uphill and over the ridge of the Kilsyth hills. A short walk on a minor road brings us to a viewpoint where you can immerse yourself in the breathtaking views. A gentle walk down hill on a minor road and you arrive at the Colzium estate, where your guide will inform you all about the history of the estate. A short walk along a minor road, farm tracks and paths leads you to the famous Antonine wall. Castlecary is at the end of this section of the Antonine wall.

Day 3: Castlecary to The Kelpies  The day starts by passing under Castlecary viaduct, a Victorian railway line between Glasgow and Edinburgh. This part of the walk is on a minor road and then forest tracks and paths towards the Falkirk Wheel. Just before the Falkirk Wheel is Roughcastle Fort, one of many Roman fort ruins along the Antonine wall. Shortly after leaving Roughcastle fort we arrive at the Falkirk Wheel, the only rotating boat of its kind in the world, where you will have the time to partake on a journey on the Falkirk Wheel. A visit to the 1746 Battle of Falkirk monument is next before heading down and onto the towpath alongside the Forth and Clyde canal. Then a visit to Calendar house before ending day at the Kelpies, the largest horse head statues in the world.
