Exploring South Manchester

Explore the best cycle infrastructure that south Manchester has to offer. The route links up many traffic free cycle paths, national cycle routes and quiet lanes to give you a belting 19 mile circular within south Manchester.

It begins at the Green Flag Awarded Wythenshawe Park, home to the Grade II listed Wythenshawe Hall.

After circling around Wythenshawe Park we head to the River Mersey and Didsbury Village, following National Cycle Network 62 all the way along the Mersey to Stockport, where we will make a cafe stop. We then venture north, through the Heaton's (Norris, Moor and Chapel) to Highfield Country Park.

From Highfield Country Park we pick up the Fallowfield Loop Line, a disused railway track, all the way to Chorlton. The route heads through Chorlton Park and back to the River Mersey, past Chorlton Water Park and back to Wythenshawe Park.
