Stunning gravel track along the canal. Locks galore. Low bridges. Having a bell on your bike might be useful. Best to avoid the canal on weekends due to heavy footfall.

Been down the Chesterfield Canal several times, several times detouring on cycle route 6 at Shireoaks and then to Rother Valley Country Park. Also possible to go all the way along canal, past Kiveton Park (can be muddy), then across a field. There is a short cut avoiding Wales, across the field, under M1 (farmers access tunnel), through a field (small stile to lift bike over), past farm buildings come out to main road near entrance to Rother Valley Park.
