Underwood Lockhouse to Seabegs Wood

Starting from Underwood Lockhouse follow the canal towpath towards Seabegs Wood. A further walk continues to Bonnybridge and beyond to visit the Falkirk Wheel site. (3.5km - 2 miles)

seabegs1-location.jpgThis is quite a long walk at around two miles but it is well worth the effort and the Antonine Wall is reached via a small underpass beneath the Forth & Clyde canal and through a beautiful oak wood.

From the car park at the community centre in Bonnybridge there is a short (and steep) uphill walk to the level of the canal towpath which leads to the underpass and Seabegs Wood

The underpass (known locally as the 'Pend') is not particularly wheelchair friendly

At Seabegs Wood a steep farm track leads uphill to a mown grass pathway on the right. This is the Military road and from here you follow a circular route back to the main gates and retrace your steps towards Bonnybridge.

Facilities are few and there are no toilets at the site. Bonnybridge is the nearest point where public facilities are available.
