Eanam Wharf

A gentle ride down the canal towpath from Eanam Wharf to Witton Country Park. We'll pass 6 locks along the way and don't forget to look out for the iron man on his bike. Once inside the park we'll pass some wonderful scenery, possibly try out the 'Wits Adventure area' and see if we come across any of the stones to discover the hidden history of the park. There is a refreshment area at the Pavilion cafe where we'll have a well-earned break! If you’re fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour.
