Canal road cycling routes

Many of Nottinghamshire's roads run parallel to beautiful canals and waterways. Scroll down and browse a selection of our canal side road routes.

For waterways and countryside on the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire border, check out the Erewash Valley cycle route. This trail is 30 miles long but includes a number of shortcuts and links meaning you can tailor the route to suit your ability. The valley is a haven for wildlife providing a valuable wetland corridor and at the same time a living landscape for local residents and visitors to enjoy.

The Nottingham to Worksop route begins in the city and goes through to Sherwood Forest, ending at Worksop. The route includes a variety of attractions and beauty spots: lovely country parks such as Clumber Park, the historic Newstead Abbey and the mighty Major Oak in Sherwood Forest.

If you're keen to discover some of Nottingham's iconic sports ground, the Big Track Waterside route goes from Trent Bridge to Beeston Lock, taking in the Nottingham Forest and Notts County ground as well as the legendary Trent Bridge cricket ground.
