Xmas jumper Ride to Hoghton Tower Xmas Gift Market.

We leave the car park on Crookfield Road and head towards Tockholes and Feniscowles, from there we will access the canal towpath (weather permitting) before arriving at Hoghton. After a brief talk on the history of the Tower we will pedal up the drive and enjoy the delights of the Xmas fair.
From Hoghton we will then head across country towards Brindlle and Wheelton where we stop for lunch. The route back to the start point will take us through a nature reserve and along some challenging woodland tracks - again weather dependant.

Why not get in the festive spirit and wear your Xmas Jumper on this hybrid Ride over to Hoghton Tower Xmas Fair. Xmas jumpers make for a fun ride but are entirely optional!

Please note: this ride is NOT suitable for road bikes. Much of this route will be on quiet country roads, some farm tracks, some canal towpath and some busier roads.

We will stop along the way to catch our breath and to take some photos. There is a planned stop at the Xmas fair in Hoghton and also for lunch at Wheelton.

Helmets are mandatory and must be worn on this ride. Please ensure you have spare inner tubes etc and a pump in case of mechanical breakdown. You will also need some sort of payment method for lunch.

We never leave anyone behind
