The Widdop Road corridor begins at Thursden in Lancashire however there are a number of cycle corridors that link to Thursden from Burnley, Brierfield, Nelson, Colne and Trawden providing a range of options for cyclists. The first part of the corridor is very steep as the road cuts through the hillside and for the first half km the road has safety barriers to cater for the shear drop of the land. The road throughout the corridor is rolling with 10.8km of cycling on offer the balance between climbing and descending is equal as the route goes up for 260m and down for 268m. This corridor links well with the The Long Causeway (Into Blackshaw Head).
Distance: 10.7 km
