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.

At the end of the 18th century John Redford of Smalley Hall built a dam on Bell lane creating this pond. Although it became silted up in the 20th century, it has now been restored to create a delightful and rather secluded spot.

This Grade II listed lodge house was built in 1861 for the Miller-Mundys of Shipley Hall. Red brick with yellow brick and blue brick bands, also with stone band at sill level on ground floor and stone dressings, now painted. Steeply pitched red plain tile roof.

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.
