シップリーでののおすすめツーリングルート

My favourite spot there admiring the nature and the birds

The Nottingham canal is a hidden gem in this area! Relatively quiet compared to other similar trails. Great to cycle along and forget all your worries.

Such a lovely spot, with a choice of some welcome refreshments from the multiple establishments dotted around the lock.

Shipley Country Park is not that far from Derby, close to the Nottingham border. It offers 700 acres of attractive, varied landscape full of lakes, wildflower meadows, woodland, and gentle hills, The park has 20 miles (32 km) of well maintained footpaths for walking, cycling, and horse riding.

The Nottingham Canal originally travelled a distance of 14 miles (22.5 km) from the Cromford Canal to the River Trent at Nottingham, but most of it is now in a variety of various states of use and preservation, with only a 2.5 miles (4 km) section through the centre of Nottingham still used by boats. The remainder of the canal towpath is used for a variety of recreational activities, including cycling.

The national tramway museum. From outside it looked like a very nice tourist attraction with fully working trams. Dogs are welcome.
