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.

Watch your line on the narrow woodland paths — they twist more than you expect, and the surface changes fast.

Pace yourself early — the Loop feels flat, but the long, steady effort can sneak up on you.

Worth it so you can say you’ve ridden over. Roadworks on-going so you have to keep to the road rather than a footpath

Love this canal, it is good for a walk, run or even gentle cycle.

Free for bikes hooray!

14km of off road, traffic free, concrete surface wide enough for walkers, cyclists, buggys to co- exist in peace and harmony. Along the route there is some interesting graffiti and places to get off the loop for drinks. If you're getting on the loop from the Gorton end and planning on doing the entire loop it's all mainly downhill as well!
