The Falkirk Wheel

Falkirk Wheel lit at night. Amazing engineering to get canal boats up and down the 35m high loch.

Got up at 4.30am to check out, catch a bus, catch a train, catch another train to catch our train from London to Edinburgh, departing at 8am, to then catch a bus to the pickup location for our next camper van hire. It was a very busy morning.

This campervan hire is a relocation deal, transporting it from Edinburgh to London over 5 days at just  £5 per night. Cheaper than Iceland that's for sure.

Falkirks Wheel: We were blown away by this on our last visit and were keen to return to this amazing structure and engineering marvel. It's the world’s only rotating boat lift that gets canal boats up and down the 35m high loch using a balancing act. We were able to camp there and see it lit up at night. Very special indeed.
