The tow path is generally good, best for gravel bikes! There are routes pushing up the tarmac in places and the surface is worn in others.

It's nice to ride along the canal but he surface is quite bumpy and loose gravel. Luckily I have Gatorskins tyres on my bike but would recommend hybrid, gravel or mtb for this area of path
