We are the Rushcliffe Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This is a mostly level walk alongside various waterways and across fields. We start by walking along the Trent & Mersey canal towards Derwent Mouth, where the river Derwent meets the Trent, but peel off across a lock heading north to meet the Derwent which we follow for a while. Then we head west across fields past Shardlow Hall and pick up a quiet lane before passing some lakes and doing a short climb through the woods at Bellington Hill. We continue south crossing the A50 then return into Shardlow along the canal towpath.
If you would like to join this walk please contact the Leader using the email link. Numbers are not restricted.
Park at the carpark in Wilne Lane, Shardlow. The walk will start from here.
Postcode is DE72 2HA
We will have a coffee stop and lunch stop. Please bring a packed lunch.
The walk is mostly along good field paths and towpath but we may encounter some mud in places.
There are about 15 stiles and we will climb 50 steps at one point, but total ascent is only 75 feet.
