Close park via Milltown Bridge

Meeting point

📍 Radcliffe Market

About this route

From the market the route heads east and crosses the newly built Milltown Bridge — a footbridge from the end of Milltown Street over the River Irwell. From the east bank it loops through Close Park and along the edge of Radcliffe Ees, the wetland nature reserve on the eastern bank of the river, before returning back to the market. A very flat 5k with just 39 metres of ascent — well suited to any pace group and a pleasant introduction to the riverside path and the new crossing.
