Accrington Train Station

Starting from the Tesco car park in Accrington by the train station the route takes you on the Hyndburn Greenway and the Leeds Liverpool canal through Rishton, past the Whitebirk Retail Park to the outskirts of Blackburn before climbing up above Oswaldtwistle past the Brittania Inn on Haslingden Road. The home leg sees you pass the famous Holland Pies factory at Baxenden before rejoining the other end of the greenway for the descent back into Accrington.
Due to some road disruption we are going to ride this route in reverse.
It also adds to the wonderful views of Pendle hill to one side and Pleasington to the other.
We will also be stopping for refreshments at around 12pm at the wonderful canal view cafe Rishton.
Basic snacks at great prices.
Great ride.
Pretty challenging at points.
