This picturesque canal section stretches for approximately 4 miles, offering a tranquil atmosphere and scenic views of the surrounding countryside. The canal is lined with lush greenery, and its calm waters reflect the beauty of the surrounding landscape.

The area is also home to a variety of wildlife, including birds, fish, and other aquatic creatures, making it a haven for nature lovers.
A lovely section of the Chesterfield Canal with plenty of places for boats to stop. Paths are suitable for dog walkers and bikes. Lots of history to read on the information boards, like the stone quarried for the Houses of Parliament travelled down the canal. Lots of interesting locks too.
A lovely area right next to the canal. Some lovely houses along the edge. Several locks to pass. Perfect for runners, cyclists and dog walkers. You can make this walk as long or as short as you wish, but its thoroughly beautiful. Do check out the local marina area.
Great place for a stroll along the canal. You do need to dodge a few cyclists, but it's a very relaxing place.
Lovely peaceful walk along the towpath. Very well maintained.
Peaceful , shady canal side walk. Too many cyclists racing along. Luckily the 'hill' locks slow them down , as do dogs & kids ! Ice cream/mini cafe open as it was sunny. Swans & cygnets in place as per. Goats & Running Ducks also on show.
The area we walked was beautiful, surrounded by fields and woodland. The canal was lovely and clear, plenty of fish, ducks etc the pathway level and accessible
