Remains of bridge, Eastwood Lock Remains of an old bridge by Eastwood Lock on the Erewash Canal. The Erewash Valley was a key industrial site, with the canals and railways linking here, plus at least one colliery by the Erewash River. This bridge used to carry one of the railways linking the canal, the colliery and the main rail network.

Nottingham Canal The line of the disused Nottingham Canal is marked by a row of flower and plant growth, rather than by water.
Nottingham Canal Nature Reserve. This section of the Nottingham Canal is in water and this has many ducks, coots and moorhens all of which made a hasty retreat when they saw me approaching! The Nottingham Canal was a 14.75 mile (23.6km) long canal between Langley Mill in Derbyshire and Nottingham to supplement the adjacent Erewash Canal (see 832810). It opened in 1796 carrying coal from the coal fields to the City of Nottingham, the River Trent and beyond. With the advent of the railways canal traffic declined and the canal was closed in 1937. The southern section is now part of the River Trent Navigation. Since 1977, the Broxtowe Borough Council has owned and maintained the upstream sections from Wollaton to Langley Mill as a nature reserve and walking trail.

Hotel was lovely and the beds were comfortable. Really pleasant staff and would recommend the hotel. However wasn’t a fan of 5 WhatsApp messages plus Expedia messages from them think it was a bit too much. Apart from that everything else was great
