Castlefield to Worsley woods along the Bridgewater canal - 20 miles

From outside the Banyan tree we find the Bridgewater canal towpath and follow this all the way down to Monton. At the Bluebell roundabout we follow the cycle track through Worsley woods. After a pit-stop we'll make our way back the same way to Castlefield.
*Optional add-on -at the end of the ride, a refreshment stop at the Deli Lama cafe/bar, 220 Chapel Street, M3 5LE, which serves delicious home made food and even has live jazz on Thursday nights from 9pm :-)
**The Deli Lama is only a short ride from the green bridge in Castelfield. Cross this, turn right and follow the Manchester Ship Canal to the road, turn right to reach Trinity way, Chapel Street is the next left.
(We are not stopping halfway at a cafe in Monton, I can't remove that bit for some reason)

Along the Bridgewater canal, then along designated leisure trail through Worsley woods and back

90% traffic free.

Cafe halfway in Monton

Correctly fitting helmet, spare innertube and pump. Money/card for cafe

It's a beautiful route taking you from the city centre out to a really nice cycle route
