Swingate Water Tower

Just outside the city, a tower stands at nearly 100 feet that helped bring drinking water into Nottingham.

Built more than 70 years ago, the Swingate Water Tower dominates the skyline around the town Kimberley just off the A610.

Rugged Cut-Through to Swingate

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Great traffic free route from above the canal over to Swingate. Rough in places and a challenging little climb near the top. You'll need a gravel bike at least. Great views over the Erewash valley.
