Trailblazers! Manchester and Salford launch new Cemetery Cycle Trail

Thursday 21 March saw the launch of the Manchester and Salford Cemetery Cycling Trail.

The event was attended by The Lord Mayors of Manchester and Salford, elected members of Manchester City Council and Salford City Council, the GM cycling Mayor and founder of Bee Pedal Ready Belinda Everett, members of the friends of cemeteries groups, and selected other dignitaries.

The Manchester and Salford Cemetery Cycling Trail is a 32.8 mile (53km) circular route, that links eight cemeteries across Manchester and Salford. You can either take in the full trail, or alternatively you can ride individual sections according to experience and ability.

New cycle stands at each of the eight cemeteries will contain a scannable QR code, allowing you access to the full map and route information.

We hope this new trail opens up these beautiful, quiet, and reflective green spaces for many cyclists, whether to visit loved ones, or to take in the local history.

With Manchester being awarded European Capital of Cycling 2024, what better way to #PedalMoreIn24.
