Welcome to Centre Vale Park situated in the Upper Calder Valley. The park is located on the outskirts of Todmorden close to the Yorkshire and Lancashire Boundary.
Centre Vale Park has been identified as a great place for families to cycle in a traffic free environment. We welcome families to come and cycle our 1 mile loop and for younger riders to develop their cycling skills on our mini road network located on the west side of the park.
The 1 mile loop follows an unsigned figure of 8 passing the cycling skills mini road network, Skate Park area and children’s playground. The route is almost completely flat with only 40ft of gentle gradient. The paths on this loop are wide enough for cycle trailers and visibility is excellent for pedestrians and
cyclists to enjoy the park safely. Please consider other people using the park and we ask you to cycle at a gentle and leisurely pace.

Starting in the heart of Brighouse this 8.9km route follows the Calder & Hebble Navigation to the outskirts of Sowerby Bridge. There is plenty of wildlife on route and a nature reserve at Cromwell Bottom. The route boasts a number of standard and unique lock gates and features some stunning architecture. At Salterhebble Basin look for the canal, road, railway and river passing over and under each other.
This route is ideal for families and beginners, cycling from Brighouse to the outskirts of Sowerby Bridge and back will cover 17.8km with a few very short inclines at the lock gates. There are options on the route to branch off up the Hebble Trail to Halifax or continue on the towpath to Sowerby Bridge Town Centre. Both Sowerby Bridge and Halifax have a train service to Brighouse.
The 8.9km linear route is 95% off route with a road section at Elland Bridge that can easily be walked by less confident cyclists.

A flat family cycle ride with only a number of very small climbs at canal lock gates. The route starts and finishes in Hebden Bridge and follows the Calder Valley Cycleway (National Cycle Network Route 66) before looping back on the Rochdale Canal topwath. The route is 90% off road and the road sections can easily be negotiated on foot by less confident families
