Cloud Trail

Highlight • Cycleway

This is an old converted railway line that runs from a very impressive quarry near Wilson to the Trent and Mersey Canal near Swarkestone.

It's part of National Cycle Route 6 which continues northwards alongside the canal and then on the route of an old canal (the Derby canal) into Derby. It's all off-road.

The church is medieval and existed when the Domesday Book was compiled in 1086. The current building dates from the early part of the 12th century when the living of Melbourne was given to the Bishop of Carlisle.

It was restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott between 1859 and 1862. It was closed for one year at the start of the restoration in 1859 and reopened on 3 November 1860, when enough work had been completed to allow the congregation to use the building. The interior was renovated. The aisles were floored with red and white Mansfield stone laid in a diamond pattern. The chancel was laid with Minton encaustic tiles. A new pulpit and reading desk were installed. The wall plaster was removed and the stonework revealed. The west front stonework was renewed.

Dismount at the gates to the shops, garden and cafe area, there's a nice lake just past the Church where you can sit and have a well earned rest.
