Calder and Hebble Navigation Canal
Description
This section of the Calder and Hebble Navigation Canal runs along
National Cycle Route 66
from Sowerby Bridge to Brighouse. It's a nice easy, traffic free ride along the towpath with some lovely views of the Calder Valley countryside and the River Calder. Walkers can also enjoy this section of the canal.
The route starts in Sowerby Bridge and heads to Copley. Just after Copley you have the option of heading north along the Halifax arm into
Halifax
. This route continues to Elland, where you'll pass
Elland Park Wood
where there are some nice woodland trails. The final section takes you into Brighouse passing Brookfoot Ski Lake on the way.
The
Rochdale Canal
also passes through Sowerby Bridge so you can pick this up to continue your exercise. It heads to the popular town of
Hebden Bridge
in the Upper Calder Valley.
