Transforming the Trent Valley

Project Summary

We are completing the cycle link between National Cycle Network route 54 from Lichfield to the west, and the National Memorial Arboretum, Croxall and wider landscape to the east of the Transforming the Trent Valley landscape. The route is crossing the A38 via the A513 road bridge, connecting to the existing cycleway before taking an off-road route and emerging opposite the National Memorial Arboretum. This will enable local communities to visit this popular memorial sustainably and provide improved access to the greater countryside.

We are encouraging leisure cycling and the promotion of healthy lifestyles associated with cycling. By providing this important east-west sustainable transport link and connecting with the improvements along the Trent and Mersey Canal, we are providing a more comprehensive network for walking and cycling.
