Starting point

BL0 0QP

Irwell Vale Railway Station, Milne Street, Irwell Vale. Free parking next to station.

Using NCN6 we will follow pleasant traffic-free paths from Irwell Vale, along the river, to Stubbins. At Stubbins we will continue along NCN6 which here follows the road into Ramsbottom, although we avoid the busy town centre, and travel alongside the railway line to Nuttall Park. From Nuttall Park we are again traffic-free, making our way to a quiet residential estate. We will follow quiet streets to Summerseat - there is a short section of main road which we can walk along if it is busy. In Summerseat we will visit the Garden Centre Cafe for refreshments, so do bring some money if you would like to join us for a cuppa. We will return the same way we came, seeing a different view on the journey back! This ride is suitable for any type of bike, but do bring a spare inner tube that fits yours. Spare clothing is always recommended. If you have any queries, you can text me on 07595 873191 or email [email protected]
