Walking & Running

Explore your local canal for a leisurely stroll or pick up the pace and enjoy getting fit as you jog or run along the canal. Walking along a canal path can give you a completely different view on a place, even somewhere you know well. Enjoy well maintained paths and a traffic free atmosphere, ideal whether you choose to run or walk.

Caledonian Canal

A walk along the Caledonian Canal gives you the opportunity to experience all Scotland has to offer. It's not called Great Glen for nothing!

Crinan Canal

Walk or run along the Crinan Canal, the views are worth the effort as you cross from one side of the Mull of Kintyre to the other.
