The footpath upstream of Cromwell Rd will be closed for several months as the EA are constructing a flood storage basin in the area of land in the cliff opposite Kersal dale. It is a pain you can't walk down there without making a big detour.

Strictly speaking I got on upriver as it was closed like you said but I saw the sand Martin at Cromwell bridge ... Wonder why it's closed
