    Tips

    Apart from one very short (slightly muddy) section near the marina (100 yards), this section of the towpath is absolutely pristine and joy to ride on. It is by far the most enjoyable way into the centre of Gloucester and is possible on any bike. A lack of traffic is however more than compensated by pedestrians, so it's not really the way to go if speed is your aim.

      This is a great section of canal. We were a team of six cyclists doing the LEJOG but it still wasn't too busy. Nice ambience along the canal and through the dock area.
