Description
This is a more direct route, and also utilises a quiteier road route. The access on to the Trans Pennine Way is also more inclusive and better surfaced than the canal which can get very muddy and flooded

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

04 Dec 2021This route is good for cycling, however there are better ways to travel to Lymm than following this route. It involves walking on fairly busy roads to get to the start of the TPT in Altrincham and exits the TPT too early in Lymm. The TPT is not (as a previous reviewer stated) primarily for cycling- its for mixed use - walkers/cyclists/families with pushchairs etc.

15 Oct 2021 (edited 06 Oct 2023)This majority of this route follows the Transpennine Trial on what was the old Warrington to Altrincham railway line. The Transpennine Trail is a long distance cycle route developed by Sustrans, and is primarily intended for cyclists (disregard the previous comment above), however walkers are also encouraged to use it, providing they are conscientious of and respectful to cyclists. The path can get very muddy in places, especially in winter and it is crossed by several (non-major) roads. All in all its a pretty safe, direct and easy route to use.

06 Oct 2023The TPT is a cycle trail, yes walkers are welcome to use it, but it is still a cycle trail. The stretch between Alt-Lymm also forms Route 62 of the national cycle network.
