    Good

    We stumbled on this old Roman Fort after walking down from the canal at the Falkirk Wheel. It was a lovely sunny day so we had our packed lunch under a tree, might be a little exposed in less nice weather. The information boards with explanations and graphics were really interesting, informative and bought the history of the site to life.

    The paths are very wide and I don't remember any steps, the fort is lumpy and hilly, but you will be fine if you stick to the paths, though some are grass so this might be difficult for some impairments.

    Bit bit of of the way, the car park from Falkirk Wheel is about a four minute walk, I think.

    Additional Information

    I like the wide barrier entrance that would be wide enough for most wheelchairs, if not all. It can be a quick visit or a leisurely stroll, I have a short attention span!
