With rivers, canals and lakes, cycling in Nottingham always takes you past at least a couple of watercourses. This thriving, culture-rich city is a fantastic place to find cycle trails that whisk you out into the countryside and explore some of the area’s amazing history. Lying on the banks of the Rivers Trent, Derwent and Erewash, there’s no shortage of flat rides here and there are plenty of traffic-free routes through nature reserves that make family-friendly adventures a breeze.
