The Burnley Way is a 40-mile, long distance footpath created in 1993 and relaunched in May 2008. As a circular walk it can be walked from any point and in any direction, but it is considered to start and finish at the Weavers' Triangle Visitor Centre in Burnley (behind the camera). It covers a range of terrain from canal towpaths to open moorland. On the far side, The Healey Wood Road warehouses form an impressive 4 to 5 storey ‘wall’ to the west side of the canal. Although somewhat overshadowed by the Centenary Way flyover ahead, the buildings still dominate the stretch of canal adjacent to Manchester Road.
