Watch out for cyclists and hikers coming thru the canal bridge, it’s very tight for 2 bikes to pass each other.

Walton Dam was built in the 18th century to provide a water supply for Walton Manor Corn Mill. The site was bought by Robinson’s in 1899, as a source of water for their cotton wool production. Later it provided an area for sporting and leisure activities for staff. Chesterfield Swimming Club also held events there.

Queen's Park was opened in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. In its early days, the Park was a popular venue for rallies and demonstrations. When the Derbyshire Miners' Associatiion held their rally here at the end of the 1890s it had a festive appeal with swingboats, roundabouts and coconut shies. The Park has been restored, with a café, lake and miniature railway, as well as playing facilities for younger visitors. There is also a bandstand - sit and listen to a local brass band playing on some Sunday afternoons during the summer.

Lovely old disused railway line, now a perfect Greenway linking Creswell and Clowne. This Greenway is around 5 miles on easy to cycle gravel path, continues on towards Poolsbrook and Staveley

This is getting very rutted on the steepest part around the 2 gates, be careful as it's being slowly washed away

There are several sections where the loch narrows and the towpath that you ride on becomes lesser. These section usually have a secondary route for bikes to ride on at the side
