Path up to the viaduct which can be cycled across - eventually also we should be able to cycle down the other side - but works are still in progress on the path and the Visitors Centre.

Bennerley Viaduct is currently only accessed from the west end (the canal side) with construction work to build a new access ramp at the east end. There's no way to cross the viaduct until this work is done, with no apparent completion date. To cross the river and canal you need to detour slightly to the north along some small but rideable gravel tracks. It's doable on 28mm tyres.

Despite its striking neo-Georgian design, the tower was actually constructed in the 1940s and became operational in 1950.

The grade II listed, 19th century, 'free Gothic style' chapel stands on a hilltop, providing magnificent panoramic views over Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, and has historic external and internal features that have been beautifully restored.

Love broad oak in summer, I was the assistant manager 24 years ago. Great place to visit. Lovely beer garden thought the wasps still love the beer soaked tables!
