Turner wood is a particularly picturesque place with the canal side cottages and the locks, there also seems to be a couple of resident Swan families too, a lovely place …

The bridge was the original approach to Clumber Park prior to the development of the famous lime tree avenue. It dates from the 18th Century and crosses an ornamental lake that was created by the damming of the River Poulter.

Chesterfield Canal Towpath

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Stunning gravel track along the canal. Locks galore. Low bridges. Having a bell on your bike might be useful. Best to avoid the canal on weekends due to heavy footfall.
