Description

Kincardine to the Kelpies.

I've already posted a series of videos that take you clockwise around the Forth by heading East over the Kincardine bridge and then back via Forth Road bridge. This series of videos, of which this is the last of four, also takes you clockwise around the Forth but by this by starting heading West. We cross initially by the footbridge at Cambuskenneth on the outskirts of Stirling and then return via the new Clackmannanshire Bridge outside Kincardine.

This section of the ride takes you initially from Clackmannanshire on the North side of the Forth to Stirlingshire on the South side via the new Clackmannan Road bridge. There's then a short trip through the flat farmlands beside the aptly named village of Skinflats before heading West alongside the river Carron before crossing the river via the new Abbotshaugh Bridge and then heading East to finish that the Helix Park with its iconic Kelpie statues.

If you wanted to do the complete circular route in one go it's here.
