Just a 45 minute drive from Crosswoodhill, The Kelpies and Helix Park is a simply stunning destination, largely thanks to the amazingly talented artist Andy Scott from Glasgow. He has created these 30 metre high horse-head sculptures out of structural steel with a stainless steel cladding. They really define the continuing artistic beauty Scotland has offered down the centuries. And lit up at night they are spectacular!

Adjacent is a great free play area massively rated on Trip Advisor. And for dog-walkers, wheelchair users and anyone wanting a stroll, there are spacious walk-ways . This is the perfect stop-off en route to Stirling Castle, a further 20 minute drive from the Kelpies.
