セッキントンのおすすめランニングルート

Such a towpath (known in German as a towpath or Leinpfad), which runs alongside the river or canal, was an essential part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could move by motor power, horses walked along the bank, pulling the boat against the current. This activity was called "treideln" in German, and thus the "treidelpfad" got its name. Where these paths – running directly along the bank – have survived to this day, they no longer serve their original purpose, but are still popular: namely, with hikers and cyclists.

Nice quiet lanes for cycling around Orton on the hill

Very nice views on this nice quiet road. There is a steep little hill as you approach Orton on the Hill.

Towpath is usually in pretty good condition for most of the year. Probably not all suitable for a road bike but anything with 40mm or above tyres is going to be fine.

Beautifully laid out flower beds around the motte down to the former moat.

Today's Ladybridge was built in 1797 after the flood of 1795 destroyed the old wooden bridge in 1294. The name "Ladybridge" comes from a statue of the Virgin Mary that was placed in the middle of the bridge. From the bridge you have a beautiful view of the rivers Tame and Anker and their confluence.

A great place to build into a run. A flat canal followed by a bit of ascent to the golden needle (an industrial sized sundial)

The castle has been here on the banks of the River Anker for over 900 years. It's now paid entry and open Tue to Sun.
