워링턴 최고의 러닝 경로

Fantastic cafe in an old greenhouse setting at Grappenhall Walled Garden which is open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Well worth including in you’re route

watch out for dog walkers who don't have their dogs on a lead.

A first sign that you are coming closer and closer to urban ground, coming from the pennine trail. An old viaduct, still impressive and some 100 yards upstream you see the Latchford Locks.

A very pleasant cycleway - of course also for hikers and riders - along the Bridgewater Canal

The canal is a 36-mile waterway connecting the Mersey Estuary to the Port of Manchester, and Latchford Locks are a set of locks along this route, particularly in Warrington.

Manchester Ship Canal is a 36-mile-long (58 km) inland waterway in the North West of England linking Manchester to the Irish Sea. Starting at the Mersey Estuary at Eastham, near Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, it generally follows the original routes of the rivers Mersey and Irwell through the historic counties of Cheshire and Lancashire. Several sets of locks lift vessels about 60 ft (18 m) to the canal's terminus in Manchester. Landmarks along its route include the Barton Swing Aqueduct, the world's only swing aqueduct, and Trafford Park, the world's first planned industrial estate and one of the largest in Europe.

The viaduct was built by Arrol from wrought iron and spans the Manchester Ship Canal. The abutments and piers are constructed from sandstone and red brick, with a facade of blue bricks. The viaduct closed to passenger services in 1962 and closed to freight traffic in 1985, partially due to the poor condition of the viaduct.

Paddington Bank is a great spot to sit or stroll on the River Mersey. It's well paved and connects to other trails to lengthen your route.
