세킹턴 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

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.

Quite dull but this can be ridden across in summer

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.

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)

Quite narrow in places, good scenery

Burnt Sunlight sundial. Great views and fascinating concept

Look out for the gatehouse of this Benedictine nunnery as you travel up the high street.

A small secluded country park, with access for walkers, cyclists, and even a red mtb route, access to and from the canal tow path, and a cafe on site. Regular visitor here and always finding new trails on foot and wheel.
