The Bridgewater Way is a regeneration project which created a 39 mile route along the Bridgewater Canal for walkers and cyclists alike. As a canal the going is flat and easy, perfect for warming those legs up!

Highlight • Cycleway

Great well laid path. A few areas have a bumpy surface due to tree roots, and some parts quite narrow. Walkers/cyclists/joggers respect each other in the main.
