City, Coast & Countryside - Hest Bank Circular Route

This short triangular ride offers plenty of variety, ranging from the historic heart of Lancaster, the car-free bustle of the Greenway, the wide open space of Morecambe’s breezy Prom to the peaceful canal towpath.

An excellent ride for all the family, this route is almost all on traffic-free cycle-tracks, apart from one stretch of about 250m on an on-road cycle-lane; this can be avoided by walking the short distance. It’s also almost entirely flat, with just one gentle climb approaching Hest Bank. The route is described starting at Lancaster’s Millennium Bridge but can be joined at any point; there are numerous connections to other cycle routes, especially in Lancaster and along the Greenway. Public Toilets: Available on Morecambe Promenade. Refreshments: Many options near the start/finish and in Morecambe, plus pub at Hest Bank
