Burnley to Hebden Bridge

Description

This hilly ride follows National Cycle route 68 from Lancashire into Yorkshire. You start on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in Burnley and follow the towpath to the edge of town before passing Towneley Park and Towneley Hall which is well worth a look. The route continues on road through Stiperden and Stansfield Moor before a short stretch along the Rochdale Canal takes you to the finish point by Hebden Bridge Railway station.
On the way look out for the views of the Stoodley Pike monument, one of the landmarks of the area.
