The Hyndburn Greenway is a traffic-free rout in Lancashire that follows old railway lines and canal towpaths between Accrington and Blackburn, passing parks, art galleries and former mills. The climb gets up to 6% in some places, and averages 4 to 5%. Along the way, you'll also encounter the Ashton Flood Wheel, a striking engineering feature.
