The Route

Starting at Earnse Bay, the route follows West Shore Road and Trent Vale before running through Vickerstown Park and re-joining the highway at the Jubilee Bridge junction with the Promenade.

The route provides a continuous, safe, direct and attractive active travel link for residents of North Walney facilitating access to the town centre and providing a link to residential areas, schools and the new Earnse Bay Community Hub.

This easy to follow route allows you to do as much, or as little, as you would like. This well maintained, newly constructed, path starts at Earnse Bay and travels all the way to Vickerstown Park. It has been designed for people of all abilities and ages so they can choose to walk, wheel or cycle with ease and ‘actively’ access the increasing opportunities at key employment and education sites across Barrow-in-Furness. The infrastructure fully separates cyclists from vehicles through the widening of current footpaths.

This is an excellent, safe path that allows many people to ‘travel actively’ and leave the car at home.
