Leeds and Liverpool Canal, Burnley
Image: © David Dixon Taken: 15 Feb 2015
A view along the towpath to the east of Manchester Road; the flyover carrying Centenary Way is ahead. The towpath here forms part of the Burnley Way, 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 on the other side of the Manchester Road Bridge (behind the camera). On the opposite bank, 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, these buildings still dominate the stretch of canal adjacent to this side of Manchester Road.
