The Fallowfield Loopline is an attractive, largely traffic-free walking and cycling route which follows a former railway line. The route is classic urban railway path, ideal for families and new cyclists who need to build up their confidence away from road traffic.
Leafier at the western end and more obviously urban at the eastern end towards Debdale, it forms a green corridor running about one mile south of the city centre linking parks and open spaces. Route 60 uses the in-filled canal to take you up to the Velodrome and City Stadium.
