Bridgewater Way
The Bridgewater Way is a new 39 mile route being developed in the north-west of England that follows the towpath of the Bridgewater Canal - in Salford, Trafford, Manchester, Warrington, Halton and Cheshire.
The Bridgewater Canal built in the 1760s by the Duke of Bridgewater to carry coal was the first man-made canal in Britain and it started the Canal mania that followed in the late 18th and early 19th Centuries that revolutionised transport in this country and was an integral part of the industrial revolution. Today the canal is well used and maintained but much of the canal towpath is uninviting and unattractive and the project aims to upgrade the towpath for use by pedestrians and cyclists.
