Sawley Cut and Locks

Highlight • River

Sawley Cut and the Locks were built around 1796, to bypass difficult and shallow sections of the Trent Navigation, also in response to the Trent Navigation Company losing out to the Trent and Mersey Canal, Derby Canal, Erewash Canal, and Nottingham Canal.

Harrington Bridge Over the River Trent

Highlight • River

Harrington Bridge crosses the River Trent near Sawley in Derbyshire carrying the Tamworth Road (B6540) into Leicestershire. The stonework of the bridge dates from 1790, but the central section was replaced in 1905 after it was damaged by flood water. The central section is the only part of the bridge that is not a listed building.

Avo Avo Café

Highlight • Cafe

Small cafe with a focus less on fry-ups and more on salads and rice bowls. Opened late 2022 with very friendly staff and good quality meals. No cycle parking but can lock across the road to railings in full view of cafe. Couple of outdoor seats. facebook.com/AvocadoLongEaton
