Steven Burke Hub to Mile Tunnel

This route follows park paths to the tow path of the Leeds Liverpool Canal. It’s a there a back style ride at a gentle pace to suit all. Hopefully you'll get to see a barge or two navigating one of the 5 locks on the route. You'll also see the mallards and swans that habitate the waterway and possibly a heron and Canada geese. This is a busy stretch of the canal with plenty going on.

If it is available, why not have a blast around the 1.1KM cycle track named after Colne's Olympic Hero Steven Burke!
