Even if you’re not booking a tour, the Helix Visitor is well worth popping in to. Inside, they have a gift shop, café, free toilet facilities (for a donation) and a small informative exhibit about what The Kelpies are! Check out their lego replica. I decided to buy a good old can of Irn-Bru in here and sit outside to enjoy the views as it was a gorgeous sunny day. But, if it is raining or cold they also have seating inside too. If you’re looking for another option a quaint Plaza Café is open on the Helix Lagoon from April to October. It has outdoor seating overlooking the Helix Lagoon. Another reason is, that the statues aren’t the only thing here visit and experience. There are plenty of things to do in The Helix Park in Falkirk that makes a stop worth your while. From Wetland Walks, Hiking Trails, Cycle Routes, play parks and the views to take in from the scenic Helix lagoon.
In addition to the wheel, the Falkirk Wheel complex also includes a range of other attractions and activities, including walking and cycling trails, a children’s play area, and a picnic area. The visitor center also offers a range of educational exhibits and displays that explain the history and technology behind the wheel. Overall, the Falkirk Wheel is a unique and impressive attraction that is well worth a visit for anyone interested in engineering, history, or simply enjoying a fun and memorable day out in Scotland. The Trossachs is ‘Rob Roy Country’ where the famous outlaw hid from his pursuers in the dense forests. The area was much loved by Scottish writer and poet Sir Walter Scott whose famous poem ‘The Lady of the Lake’ was inspired by Loch Katrine, which you can cruise on the steamship SS Sir Walter Scott.
At Falkirk the two canals were linked together by a ladder of 11 locks that allowed boats on the Forth and Clyde Canal to climb the 35m to the level of the Union Canal. These canals eventually went the way of most of Britain’s canals, and the lines of both were cut by road building and housing development following their closure in 1965. The late 1990s saw a resurgence of interest in the use of canals for leisure, which heightened further when developers began to realise how the presence of a canal could greatly enhance the desirability of an area as somewhere to live and work. And so was born the idea of the “Millennium Link”, the complete refurbishment of the Forth and Clyde Canal and the Union Canal. Just about every bridge and lock on the network needed major work, and stretches of canal had been filled in during the construction of 1960s housing estates in both Glasgow and Edinburgh and had to be dug again. And in one place the M8 motorway had to be raised to provide clearance not thought necessary when it had been built over the disused Union Canal.
If you want to experience the Falkirk Wheel in action, you can take a boat tour that includes a ride on the wheel itself. These tours start at £18 for adults and £13 for children and offer a unique and memorable way to see the wheel in action. Many visitors to Scotland consider the Falkirk Wheel to be a must-see attraction. It is the only rotating boat lift in the world, an engineering marvel that allows boats to move between two canals at different heights. The wheel itself is a fascinating sight to see in action, with its 35-meter height and smooth, seamless rotation. See even more information on Park Homes Stirling.
The Kelpies are a legend that has been spoken about for centuries in the folklore of Scotland and are often seen as evil creatures and demons. The name Kelpie comes from the Gaelic ‘cailpeach’ or ‘colpach’ which means heifer or colt. Pretty much any body of water in the country has a story that includes them, the most famous of these is Loch Ness. They are often referred as Water Kelpies as they are shape-shifting malevolent spirits that live inside the rivers, lochs, and streams of Scotland.
