The connection is possible via the emerging Uwchlan Trail - currently a somewhat disconnected patchwork of sidepaths that occasionally swing into the woods. Many of the street segments appear to be bikeable, although crossing Route 100 can be difficult. Uwchlan township plans to connect the segments and link up with the Chester Valley Trail via the developing Exton Park Trail network.
The 32 year old Struble Trail is the final leg of the route and is quite scenic. There are future plans to extend the trail along the Brandywine Creek to Honeybrook but the County's priority is completing the Schuylkill River and Chester Valley Trails so we may have to find a champion to really push for the extension.

the route above is not good, ya never want to put anyone on Ship Road, I have exited the CVT at Valley Creek Blvd, take rt 30 east to Ironlake Blvd, go left then right onto Commerce, get on what is considered the CVT and take Commerce to Whitford, go left, then right on Clover Mill, will bring you to the intersection of Boot and Quarry, at this point make your way to Downingtow via either Boot or Quarry
Here is the new and improved route that totally avoids Ship Rd and takes you to the Downington SEPTA/Amtrak Station.
