One of Britain's principal canal junctions, Trent Lock's great meeting of waterways is also the border between the historic counties of Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire.
Here, the River Soar and Erewash Canal link to the Trent and Mersey canal via the River Trent and its Cranfleet Cut. The River Soar forms the border between Leicestershire in the west and Nottinghamshire in the east, whilst the River Trent forms the Derbyshire border.

Trent Lock is where the Erewash Canal feeds into the River Trent and it was the main link to the sea for the Cromford Canal as well. When the textile industry was at its height, these were naturally crucial waterways for transporting goods in and out.
These days you'll see still some boats but the main perks are the pub and cafe at the lock, making it ideal for any cyclist to take a break and refuel.
