Tips

Nice place to rest on a cycle ride next to a lock on the Trent & Mersey canal. Can travel north from here to Derby on the route of the closed Derby canal or east along the tow path following NCN route 6 to Loughborough and beyond.

Nice spot for a rest. Good way to get from Loughborough area to the Derby area.
