    The Nottingham Canal is a canal in the English counties of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. As built, it comprised a 14.7-mile long main line between the River Trent just downstream of Trent Bridge in Nottingham and Langley Mill in Derbyshire.

      There is a small, free car park just up from the nature reserve area, and another lay-by about 1/2 mile up. Several bridges and loop back paths cross over at various points and tracks are mainly gravel and soil. In addition, there are footpaths over fields moving away from the canal . Wildlife includes Moorhens, swans, ducks, birds, butterflies, damsel and dragonflies in various months. Lovely ‘Lord of the rings-esque’ tree tunnel when you turn right away from the canal opposite the ‘short cut’ route that takes you to Ilkeston houses and the railway bridge. Bulrushes, various flora. Level, easygoing trails. Several deep ponds are marked with signs at reserve (Trowell) end.
