Bennerley Viaduct viewpoint

Highlight • Historical Site

Great viewing point of the Bennerley viaduct situated on the side of the Nottingham canal. The viaduct once carried the Great Northern railway between Nottingham Victoria and Derby Friar Gate. Now one of only 2 wrought iron viaducts in England with long term plans to restore the structure and to link it into the cycle network. Whilst no official access to the viaduct, many people climb the embankments at each end and walk across the structure. Not possible to take a bike across (unless you carry it the whole way). The restoration plans have stalled due to lack of funds. More information at friendsofbennerleyviaduct.wordpress.com

Bennerley Viaduct

Wouldn't recommend trying to cross. Looks bumpy 😳and unsafe. Sure there should be a locked gate, but missing.

Erewash Canal

Highlight • Trail

The Erewash canal flows 12 miles from the River Trent to the Nottingham Canal. It was completed in 1779 and worked until the last commercial canal boat stopped in 1952. Today it's a leisure canal with boats and walking trails.
