Chorley Loop Cycle Route
10 miles (16 km)
A 10 mile circular cycle route exploring the area surrounding the Lancashire town of Chorley.
Route highlights include a pleasant run along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and a visit to the lovely Astley Park. The southern section of the ride skirts the edge of Yarrow Valley Country Park where there are miles of pleasant woodland off road tracks to try.
Just north of the route there's also Cuerden Valley Park to explore. There's more traffic free paths, a lake and views of the River Lostock here.
Part of the route uses a section of National Cycle Route 55. This signed Sustrans trail is a good way to extend your outing if you have time.
