Roe Green Loopline

Highlight • Trail

Excellent, off road but paved surface - good for bikes, but could be a little smoother in places. Worth it for being clear of traffic for a good few KM.

Roe Green Loopline and Broadoak Park

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

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.
