Outdoor access

Family walking in woodland

Now that the days are getting longer, and the weather is a little warmer, why not dust off your boots, your bike or your horse and explore the countryside near your home.

With around 250 miles of paths to choose from – there is a route to suit everyone.

Falkirk Council's Outdoor Access team works with all sorts of organisations like Central Scotland Forest Trust|, Forestry Commission |and Callander Estate| to make sure you can get out and about to enjoy your local area and all that our excellent path network has to offer. 

We are also working together to link up many of the existing facilities and paths around local communities.

Enjoy Scotland's outdoors responsibly

Everyone has the right to be on most land and inland water providing they act responsibly. Your access rights and responsibilities are explained fully in the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.

Whether you're in the outdoors or managing the outdoors, the key things are to:

  • take responsibility for your own actions
  • respect the interests of other people
  • care for the environment
