Merseyside & Manchester Cycle Map

We are improving the National Cycle Network to make it more accessible for everyone. As part of our Paths for Everyone vision, some sections of the Network have been removed or reclassified. There may be sections within these maps that are no longer part of the Network. These sections are likely to be on busier roads and will suit more experienced cyclists.

Merseyside & Manchester Cycle Map

This area map shows the National Cycle Network and local routes in this area. It covers the Merseyside and Manchester areas of the north west region of England, including Liverpool, Manchester, Salford, Chester, Oldham, Runcorn & Widnes, Bolton, Macclesfield, Stockport and Bury.

This pocket-sized colour map shows clearly mapped on-road and traffic-free paths, easy to read contours, and detailed inset maps for the major towns and cities as well as recommended linking routes connecting the NCN with quiet roads. The map also features 4 day rides with directions and a description of the area, highlighting key cycle routes, local history and places of interest.

Please see our interactive map key for UK coverage of our pocket cycle map series.
