National Water Sports Centre, Holme Pierrepont

Highlight • Structure

There's a tarmac track around the water so this is great place to bring kids as it's flat and virtually traffic-free. You can do white water rafting here too and a lot of elite rowers and canoeists train here.

It gets hectic on really hot summer days and there are usually a lot of events held here on sundays so it's best to time your ride to early in the week and out of the summer holidays if you don't want to brake constantly.

Nottingham Sailing Club on the River Trent

Highlight • River

The masses of sailing, rowing and dinghy racing throughout the spring and summer make this a cool stop-off point on a ride for a slightly view of the River Trent.

The cafe is members-only unfortunately.
