Still closed at the far end

Spot Wollaton Hall between the trees.

Despite its striking neo-Georgian design, the tower was actually constructed in the 1940s and became operational in 1950.

There is a small, free car park just up from the nature reserve area, and another lay-by about 1/2 mile up. Several bridges and loop back paths cross over at various points and tracks are mainly gravel and soil. In addition, there are footpaths over fields moving away from the canal . Wildlife includes Moorhens, swans, ducks, birds, butterflies, damsel and dragonflies in various months. Lovely ‘Lord of the rings-esque’ tree tunnel when you turn right away from the canal opposite the ‘short cut’ route that takes you to Ilkeston houses and the railway bridge. Bulrushes, various flora. Level, easygoing trails. Several deep ponds are marked with signs at reserve (Trowell) end.

Bio-diverse grassland area, typically seeing rabbits, butterflies, damsel and dragonflies in certain months

Viaduct is lovely but currently (as of 7th Sept 2024) closed at the Nottinghamshire end so no way across. Other than that definitely worth a trundle

This tranquil 4.4-acre park has well maintained pathways for walkers and runners.

Just outside the city, a tower stands at nearly 100 feet that helped bring drinking water into Nottingham. Built more than 70 years ago, the Swingate Water Tower dominates the skyline around the town Kimberley just off the A610. A failing reservoir further north in the county at Watnall prompted the Nottingham Corporation and The City of Nottingham Water Department to seek another way to bring water from the Derwent Valley, treat it, and supply it to taps in the city. source: https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/local-news/story-behind-grand-nottinghamshire-tower-5601795 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1483831
