Cycling

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.

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.
