    Hiking

    The Leeds & Liverpool canal runs for 127miles between the two cities. Originally built for transporting goods it's use declined after the railways and nowadays it's predominantly used for recreation. The canal path is always a nice place to walk with an easy trail underfoot and plenty of interest along the way.
