Steps Between Towpath and Bridleway

Highlight • Rest Area

You can push the bike up the lefthandside of the steps almost to the top, but then there are a few extra steps you will need to hike a bike up to the bridleway. Worth it though

Nice stretch of canal but is not surfaced, mostly single track from Drawbridge pub to Earlswood. Very muddy in winter or if wet.
