The Fallowfield Loop is an off-road cycle path, pedestrian and horse riding route in the south of Manchester, England, which is one of the National Cycle Network routes and paths; it was developed and built by Sustrans, forming part of routes 6 and 60.[1]

The Loop follows the route of the former Fallowfield Loop railway line, which closed in 1988. It is 8 miles (13 km) long and connects Chorlton-cum-Hardy in the west with Fairfield in the east, passing through Whalley Range, Fallowfield, Levenshulme and Gorton.[2]
