        The Hyndburn Greenway is a flat, traffic-free route in Lancashire that follows old railway lines and canal towpaths between Accrington and Blackburn, passing parks, art galleries and former mills. Along the way, you'll also encounter the Ashton Flood Wheel, a striking engineering feature.

          Alice Baddeley, have you ever ridden this section you are commenting on. The climb from Accrington to Baxenden gets to 6% in places though
          mainly less than this, hardly flat!
