The Chesterfield canal is peaceful and a real pleasure to ride along and a must for beginner riders or people who just want to take it easy, it’s a highway for birds and animals too so enjoy the scenery and wildlife while having a ride or walk 🙏

The first half of the trail is eiding on the towpath of the canal. Canal side means flat land and easy blue type trail to ride on

A nice gravel path alongside the canal, not difficult to ride but be aware of other users and give them warning of your approach.
