Overall Rating
Excellent
The disused railway line is a smooth, wide tarmacadam path, regularly used for running, cycling, dog walking and mobility scooters. There are a number of places to access the path, which goes for miles. It's about 3 miles to Dollar for a trip to a cafe or bakery. It runs parallel to the Ochil hills.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
The path is wide and flat with no steep slopes as it used to be a railway line.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
Busses run along the Hillfoots villages and these are all accessible. There are a number of places alongside or close to the paths.
Accessible Toilets
Good
The nearest toilets are about 5 minutes from the path, either at the Sterling furniture shop or at the Sterling Mills retail park.
Staff
0No staff work on the path.
Additional Information
I walk here daily with my dog. It is lovely to see the seasons changing and I never get tired of the views.
