Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

02 Dec 2024Given the apparent urban nature of this walk, this is a surprising green and varied short walk, with good facilities and transport links at both ends. I walked westbound, and the slightly muddy descent to path alongside the River Carron from the cemetery is easy to miss. However, there is a surfaced parallel path through the park above the river which makes an easily found and mud-free alternative. Within Larbert, the amount of urban road walking can be slightly reduced by taking South Bromage Avenue which leads to a footpath that emerges back onto to existing route. Care is also needed when passing through the Falkirk Council yard towards the Falkirk end - but don't let the barriers for vehicles put you off.

30 Sep 2022 (edited 06 Jun 2024)Larbert to Falkirk 1 (Larfal 1) review.
A Slow Way which makes good use of green spaces, including a pleasant stretch of the River Carron.
There is an urban walk from Larbert Station. Carronvale Road becomes a lane between fields, ending at a bridge over the River Carron (Photo 1).
A rough footpath follows the south bank of the river and was muddy in places (Photo 2).
The route ascends through woods (Photo 3) and crosses the extensive Camelon Cemetery (Photo 4).
The Slow Way is then an urban walk through Camelon, a short stretch of the Forth and Clyde Canal, and a lane by a park into Falkirk.
