スワンウィック周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

A towpath (also known as a towpath or towpath), which runs alongside the river or canal, was an indispensable part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could be propelled by motor power, horses walked along the bank and pulled the vessel against the current. This activity was called "treideln" in German, and that's how the towpath got its name. Where these paths – running directly along the bank – have survived to this day, they no longer serve their original purpose, but are still popular with hikers and cyclists.

A nice walk along the canal

A really pretty and scenic stretch of canal with sparkling turquoise water. Amenities are available at High Peak Junction and Cromford Wharf.

Not great to walk around unless you want to walk on the road a lot. There is no direct access to the reservoir because it is a conservation site. The car park is free and there are benches to sit on to watch the birds. Ognaston Bird Club conducts a guided bird walk on the first Saturday of each month and everyone is welcome. With them, you can access the reservoir surrounding areas to watch birds. If you want great views of the reservoir however you can combine a visit with a footpath walk up from the reservoir through fields and these are quite well signposted and accessible except from a slim squeeze with a holly hedge on one side and part of a footpath which is quite nettly - but will probably be okay by Autumn.

Spot the Cromford canal stegosaurus hiding in the trees
