Relaxing Morning Walk at Helix Park Visiting The Kelpies | Scotland in Summer

All support is greatly appreciated and it helps me keep the channel going!

A nice serene, gentle walk around The Helix Park, home of The Kelpies - the largest equine sculptures in the world. Located between Falkirk and Grangemouth, the park was created as a space for the communities in the Falkirk area to come together. Great places to visit in Scotland in summer.

Standing at 100ft tall and weighing more than 300 tonnes each, the magical Kelpies are a man-made wonder and a feat of engineering. The works of art, created by artist Andy Scott, have become iconic on the landscape after being modelled on real-life icons of times gone by — Clydesdale horses Duke and Baron. The Kelpies represent the lineage of the heavy horse of Scottish industry and economy, pulling the wagons, ploughs, barges and coalships that shaped the geographical layout of Falkirk.

The Kelpies’ name reflects the mythological transforming beasts that possess the strength and endurance of 100 horses; a quality that’s analogous with the transformational change of the area’s landscapes, endurance of its inland waterways and the strength of its communities. The area around the massive sculptures has been designed to give access for all, meaning everyone can come and see them up close. You can even go inside a Kelpie on a tour for an exclusive look at their engineering and ingenuity. Don’t forget to round off your trip at the visitor centre where there is a gift shop, cafe and more information on The Kelpies themselves.

The Helix is linked to Falkirk's award winning path network, which joins our local communities and places of interest through 500 km of pathways ideal for exploring on foot or by bike. Take a ride or walk along the Heart of Falkirk Trail to discover nearby attractions and explore the areas woodlands and canals. At just over 10 miles long (16km), this family-friendly circular route will take you from The Helix, past the Kelpies to Rosebank Distillery, The Falkirk Wheel, Callendar House and Park and back to The Helix, making it a great place to begin your exploration of Falkirk's visitor attractions, wildlife and fascinating history.

Hello & welcome to Scottish Journeys. I enjoy going for walks, travelling & general sightseeing. I created this YouTube channel so I could share my journeys with you virtually. Every week, I will share videos of my leisurely strolls and bus journeys throughout Scotland (plus the occasional bagpipe video). My videos offer a serene and tranquil experience, with no background music or commentary, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the calming ambience of nature. Through my lens, you can appreciate the beauty of my home country of Scotland and perhaps find inspiration for your next walk or holiday.

Most of my videos are filmed in first person perspective as a virtual walking tour or bus ride in crystal clear 4K HDR High Definition using 3D Binaural Audio 🎧 so you can experience these places as if you were there with me.

Thank you for visiting my channel, and I hope you enjoy my travels.
