Cycling along the Calder & Hebble Navigation
The towpath forms part of the Calder Valley Cycleway and the Hebble Trail Cycleway, offering a safe route between Sustrans' National Cycle Network Route 66 and Halifax town centre. Halifax CTC also promotes Sunday rides along the navigation.
Some sections of the Calder & Hebble Navigation towpath are now officially a cycleway (specifically part of National Cycle Network Route 66). These are:
- Sterne Mills Bridge to end of the Halifax Arm
- Salterhebble Locks to Barge & Barrel in Elland (towpath changes sides)
- Barge & Barrel to Ganney Lock.
To cycle along the towpath, you will need a British Waterways cycling permit which you can download, free of charge.
