A pleasant linear walk to Gamston Lock pub via Nottingham canal to Trent Bridge with a stop for coffee at the TBI. We then follow the Grantham canal to Gamston Lock via Morrisons supermarket for a brief stop, if required. No stiles.

Back by 1.00pm. Optional lunch at Gamston Lock.

Frequent buses back to city centre. Bring duck food.

We recommend motorists to use a Park & Ride site and get the tram to the Nottingham Train Station.
