Sunday Bridges: Dowson Road

The bridge carrying Dowson Road over the former Godley to Apethorn railway line, now the Trans Pennine trail and Sustrans National Cycle Route 62.



The official Trans Pennine Trail Website describes it as

an exciting route for walkers, cyclists and horse riders linking the North and Irish seas, passing through the Pennines, alongside rivers and canals and through some of the most historic towns and cities in the North of England. The Trail from coast-to-coast between Southport and Hornsea is 215 miles (346Km) long.

whilst the National Cycle Route 62 runs from Southport to Selby with an extension from Southport via Blackpool to Glasson Dock planned.
