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.

Path up to the viaduct which can be cycled across - eventually also we should be able to cycle down the other side - but works are still in progress on the path and the Visitors Centre.

Just downstream of Elvaston Castle, the River Derwent flows over a wide, stepped weir with broad impressive cascades. The surrounding wetlands are rich in wildlife, with chances to spot kingfishers, ducks, and even leaping salmon when conditions are right.

A fantastically beautiful water landscape

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.

Rather impressive (probably more so when there's been some rain!) weir on the Derwent river - worth a stop 🚵‍♂️👍

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.
