This shared use pedestrian and cycling track is a great alternative to the canal cycle path: much wider which allows for more walkers and cyclists during busier times. The wide gravel road is prone to puddles when wet, but they can be easily dodged for the most part.

Keep an eye on the river as you ride by, with little egrets, cormorants, swans and lots of other species to glimpse as you either leave to enter the city.
