Bridgewater Way

Connecting Communities with history

The Bridgewater Way is a regeneration project that will create a 65km/39 mile leisure route  for walkers and cyclists along the historic Bridgewater Canal. The project is a fresh approach to the use of the towpath as a connection between communities around the Mersey Basin and the North West.

Proposals include a programme of regeneration and renewal introducing,

• New access points and a wide surface for new uses including cycling
  
  
• Focal points, public arts and heritage interpretation and programmes
  
  
• A safer and more appealing route

The Bridgewater Way is being promoted by the Bridgewater Canal Trust , a partnership which comprises 8 local authorities and The Manchester Ship Canal Company (part of the Peel Holdings Group).

Funders and supporters include:
