Erewash Canal
The Erewash Canal runs due north from the waterway crossroads of Trent Lock, past Nottingham, to the heart of DH Lawrence country.
It is 12 miles from the Trent to Langley Mill, terminus of the canal. A curious collection of houseboats greets visitors entering Trent Lock, where there are welcoming hostelries on either side - but afterwards, the canal gradually becomes more rural.
The canal sees comparatively few boats, but is very popular with cyclists. Several other lines are associated with the Erewash. Though long abandoned and partially infilled, the line of the Nutbrook Canal is easily traced. There are plans to reinstate the Cromford Canal and the Derby Canal is under active restoration.
