New Junction Canal Towpath

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Lovely bit of canal towpath linking Braithwaite to Sykehouse that's part of the Transpennine Trail. The surface is hardpacked gravel and ok to ride on with a road bike.

Gravel Section of the Trans Pennine Trail (Topham Ferry to Crow Croft Lane)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Sandy / gravelly section of the TPT north of Sykehouse. It's a great short cut to a quiet road crossing over the M62 to Gowdall and do-able on a road bike in summer but in winter, if it's been raining a lot, it can get really muddy and waterlogged. One Easter we had to wade knee-high through very cold water for about 25 metres when the last section of the path flooded at the southern end!
