Overview

About this route

2

A circular route which continues route 1 from Nansen Park in Gorse Hill to Longford Park via Victoria Park in Stretford. It's worth exploring this huge Green Flag award winning park. It's then a short ride to join the segregated cycleway from Chorlton to the top of Upper Chorlton Road before returning to Hullard Park. As this is a circular ride, it can be started anywhere along the route. There are multiple opportunities for refreshments along the way and toilets are located in Longford Park.
