Feedback from walkers will help inform the detailed design of the Walk Cycle, Live Stirling routes, a project which aims to make it easier for people to embark on active travel in Stirling.
Each 1.5 hour winter activity walk consists of a number of stops with location history, puzzles and activities for both children and adults, as well as targeted questions about parts of the route.
Winter Walk 1: The Victorian City - An activity trail from King’s Knot to the city centre.
Winter Walk 2: The Stirling Battle - An activity trail form the Old Stirling Bridge up to the Causewayhead roundabout – or even up to the Wallace Monument if you are feeling energetic.
Convenor of Stirling Council’s Environment and Housing Committee, Councillor Jim Thomson, said: “If families are looking for ways to entertain their children doing lockdown, while getting them exercise in line with Government restrictions, then these winter walks provide the perfect opportunity to get outside, enjoy some fresh air and explore Stirling.
“They offer a fun way to be active and sneak in a home-schooling history lesson about Stirling’s past, while playing an important part in the Walk Cycle, Live Stirling design process.”
Stirling Council is working in partnership with Sustrans Scotland and Forth Environment Link to create more accessible, attractive and safer environments for walking and cycling.
Walk, Cycle, Live Stirling is aiming to transform two key transport routes in Stirling - from the city centre to Forth Valley College, and from Stirling Station to the University of Stirling - so that they are easier and safer to travel around on foot and bike.
Vice Convenor, Councillor Danny Gibson, said: “Walk, Cycle, Live Stirling will make walking, cycling and wheeling more accessible, pleasant and safe along these two routes.
“We are keen that the community are as involved as possible in the delivery of these plans and I would encourage residents to get involved in these Winter Walks, enjoy the sights that Stirling has to offer and educate themselves about its past at the same time.”
