Circular Walks on the Cromford Canal

Description

Circular Walks on the Cromford Canal: A booklet of short circular walks has recently been published by the Friends of the Cromford Canal, exploring our wonderful canal all the way from Langley Mill to Cromford.

No need to join the gym, taking exercise can be fun and friendly. We offer you free exercise with a guide to short circular walks exploring our wonderful canal all the way from Langley Mill to Cromford. Ken Brockway assisted by Keith Bailey and Hugh Potter have produced a book which offers twelve short circular walks taking you into some stunning countryside and perhaps places unknown to you. The guide has a written description of the route along with an Ordnance Survey map plus you can download a Google map to your phone with a QR code. All offer parking or public transport at the start point.

There’s lots to see along the way; we have tunnels, including two you can walk through, and four aqueducts; one that takes water over water and another water over a railway. There are two reservoirs, and the canal line passes through a large Nature Reserve. We have a working lock taking boats from the Cromford to the Erewash Canal, and from here we invite you to explore linking canals. Elsewhere we explore a railway built in 1831 where the ground was too hilly for a canal over the Pennines.

No longer up to walking yourself, then buy a copy for family and friends to enjoy while keeping fit and healthy.
