Wife can have a bike on the ride to work scheme from halfords.

What would you recommend?

Budget is £800 might stretch further if need too.

Sorry guys it would help if you knew what type of bike it would be.

We normally ride on canal tow paths, gravel tracks and sometimes go to sutton park.

Was thinking mountain bike really.

Not a mountain bike. Sutton Park is all roads and trails. Canal paths the same. You need something that'll take tyres with a bit of tread but taller, narrower wheels for the road sections.

Something like this for £600 (unless you're hell-bent on spending to the max budget):

My local Halford reckoned they could order any bike I wanted for CTW. Never got chance to test that though.
Cheers mate, that looks a nice bike.
