Nottingham Canal
Description
Enjoy a walk or cycle along this pretty canal in Nottingham. The route runs along the
Erewash Valley Trail
from Langley Mill to the outskirts of Nottingham. It's a nice flat ride which is ideal for families.
The route starts at Langley Mill and heads south to
Cossall
and Trowell. This area has now been declared as a nature reserve which attracts lots of dragonflies, damselflies and birdlife. On the Trowell section are the remains of Swansea bridge, one of the original stone bridges, which was built around 1793–95. From here you can see the original stone built lock keepers cottages.
The route finishes very close to
Wollaton Park
where you can extend your outing.
