Hebden Bridge to Sowerby Bridge

This is an easy route for people returning to or starting a new life in cycling. We will leave Cragg Vale Park and head towards Hebden Bridge Railway Station. We will follow the route behind Whatley’s Cloggs to Mytholmroyd Railway Station via Coldene Ave. Following Route 66 the path lies parallel to the railway track to Luddendenfoot. Here we will join the Rochdale Canal eastwards to Sowerby Bridge. The return journey is a repeat, with the option of remaining on the canal path all the way back to Hebden Bridge.

This is a good (re)introduction to riding in the area. The canal path has been repaired and is an easy, flat surface

This is mainly traffic free. There are a couple of short stretches of quiet road

We can have a cafe stop in Sowerby Bridge or when we return to Hebden Bridge

Suitable clothes for the weather including a helmet. Some cash for the cafe.

First-timers welcome!
