03 Nov 2023Going north … the section from Ashley Hill towards the allotments is not cyclable and would be a challenge in a wheelchair. At the moment (2023-24) it then diverts under the railway and up Boiling Wells Lane to Muller Road. Many cyclists have to walk the last section; I imagine it would be impossible in a wheelchair.

11 Dec 2021Fun walking route on roads, and through parks and allotments. A bit trafficky in a short section up Sussex Place and Ashley Hill but otherwise varied and enjoyable.
Note that you can follow the signed Concorde Way cycle path between Muller Road and the bottom of Dovercourt Road (it goes along Petherbridge Way past Aldi and over the footbridge - what3words pushes.others.fence to hints.often.noses) instead of using the rather cage-like narrow path around the back of Lidl. Its nicer.

18 Jun 2021A nice route, but almost entirely on roads.
Some of the paths have motorcycle gates on them, which may restrict wheelchair access.
I attach a photo taken at Millennium Green in Northville.
