Breeze to the bridge for a lift!

A steady cycle ride out to the popular Llangollen canal’s Wrenbury lift bridge, followed by a circular loop taking in the pretty rural hamlets of Marbury and Norbury. The lift bridge can be a hive of activity in the summer months and can make interesting viewing! Wrenbury village is a conservation area. At 12 miles out we will stop at The Dusty Miller pub in Wrenbury for a quick coffee, so don’t forget some money! We won’t be stopping for lunch on this occasion.

A 1 mile section of the A525 Whitchurch Road to Coole Lane is involved in the exit and return to Audlem. This is a busy main road requiring caution, especially around the narrow bridge crossing the River Weaver.
There are short sections of moderate gradient either side of the bridge over the Weaver, but otherwise the route is largely flat.

Whilst this ride will be taken at a steady pace it is more suited to cyclist with some experience rather than the beginner.

Please ensure you have a road worthy bike, along with a spare inner tube appropriate for your bike. Please don’t panic about punctures as we can help. A drinks bottle and snack are advised. Keep an eye on the weather forecast, you might need a rain jacket, or sun cream!! Cycle Helmets are compulsory.

We never leave anyone behind
