If cycling north along the Leeds Liverpool Canal Rufford Branch tow-path you'll have to exit the canal and cross the A59 (Bank Bridge) on foot. When re-joining the tow-path, you will have to walk with the bike, approx. 100 metres as the tow-path is very overgrown and there's no longer a path.

Need to get off the bike and walk over the A59 Banks Bridge. Re-joining the tow-path on the other side walk with the bike for approx. 100metres due to thick undergrowth.
