ロッキントンヘミントンでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Nice food and good pint of ale!

Hiking, cycling always worth to stop there

Had a very nice walk out from Trent Lock along the River Trent and back alongside the golf course. Finished the walk off with an excellent cream tea at the Lockhouse Tearooms

The Kiosk is closed at the moment but you can still enjoy good views of the river and if lucky see a narrow boat passing the lock.

Cranfleet is a short navigational cut off the River Trent. There is a lock here to allow boats to pass.

This is a beautiful walk, a lot of which is along the canal. We will definitely do this one again.

In the 17th century the village played a key role in the distribution of cheese and Derbyshire coal by boat on the River Trent. But it was when James Brindley's Trent and Mersey canal though Shardlow was completed in 1777 that it became one of the UK's most important river ports.

Sawley Cut and the Locks were built around 1796, to bypass difficult and shallow sections of the Trent Navigation, also in response to the Trent Navigation Company losing out to the Trent and Mersey Canal, Derby Canal, Erewash Canal, and Nottingham Canal.
