Where to Ride: Hyndburn Greenway
Source: Lancashire County Council
Added: 28 Nov 2008
The Hyndburn Greenway offers you a great traffic free route, linking Accrington Town Centre with Blackburn, Rishton and Church over Baxenden. There is also a link to Great Harwood.
Following traffic free paths and upgraded canal towpaths, you'll find the route great for walking and cycling - you can even ride a horse on part of it! Plus, as the Greenway is flat, you do not have to work too hard.
Use the Greenway to keep fit and healthy. Cycling or walking along the Greenway is a superb way of getting to school, work or to the shops. It's also a lovely route for cycling and walking just for fun.
