FAMILIES looking for inspiration when it comes to their bikes should look no further than these routes and destinations, chosen by the team behind West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s £60m CityConnect programme.
First up is the Bradford Leeds Cycle Superhighway - a 14km route which is the longest of its kind in the UK.
Easily accessible by bike is City Park, home to the Mirror Pool - the largest urban water feature in the UK. At night the Mirror Pool transforms into a light, laser and water display, making it a great place to visit.
Blowing away the cobwebs on a winter walk in the park with a thermos flask is as good as anything. Armley Park and Bradford Moor Park are both easily accessible from the Cycle Superhighway.
The Aire Valley Towpath is a flat route providing an opportunity to explore part of the longest canal in the UK, the Leeds & Liverpool canal.
The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Saltaire is easily accessible with the towpath running close to Salts Mill, as is the National Trust’s East Riddlesden Hall further along.
