Connect Stirling with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Stirling to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Slow Ways linking Stirling and Bannockburn, Bridge of Allan, Doune, Kilsyth, Kippen, Tullibody

Stirling’s six Slow Ways are 58% checked
Help connect Stirling
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Stirling’s Slow Ways.

Walk this routeIt is very direct, but would be impossible for wheelers due to the boggy stretch in Balquhidderock Wood, and the steps in Ladywell Park up from (or down to) the Bannock Burn....

Just north of Ladywell Park the route descends a ramped path to a bridge which has been damaged by recent storms. I have given this route 4 stars because it is indirect, and because of the damaged bridge and the possibility that some of the route may be flooded during time of spate....

The route begins in the centre of Tullibody and makes its way out to the main Stirling Road via some quiet back streets. There is then a lovely section through the village of Cambuskenneth before a crossing of the River Forth (via the traffic-free Cambuskenneth Bridge) and a short section through increasingly busy streets to the end of the route at Stirling Rail Station....
