The Roe Green Loopline is a former 19th-century railway branch line in Salford, Greater Manchester, opened in 1870 by the London and North Western Railway to connect Eccles and Tyldesley with Bolton via Walkden. Originally serving local collieries, it carried passengers until the 1950s and closed in 1969, later becoming a popular 7.2km, traffic-free walking and cycling greenway.

Lovely cycle track but gets really busy with dog walkers , lots of dogs off leads and walkers that refuse to share space 🫣

Brilliant cafe for large groups of cyclists

Nice cycleway , gets very busy but a great shared space .

What inevitably catches the eye of passing cyclists here are the modern heirs of the beautiful historic windmills. Centuries ago, our ancestors were clever enough to harness the power of the wind for their own purposes, driving millstones and, for example, grinding grain into flour. Often placed in dozens throughout the landscape, this modern and unaesthetic variant—in the past, attention was paid to the architecture of each individual mill—serves to generate electricity. These wind farms are not without controversy, as their construction often lacks consideration for the landscape, and, above all, their slender blades can become death traps for birds.

Bridgewater Canal

Really fun 5-minute ride round the rougher side of the lake, followed by a lovely 5-minute ride around the other, smoother side of the lake....a great way to end a bike ride (*5 mins for a beginner)
