We are the Rushcliffe Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We start at Trent Bridge and go along the Victoria Embankment to the old toll bridge now taking the tram over the river. From there we walk through the King's Meadow Nature Reserve and by the River Leen. We then join the Nottingham Canal and head east along the towpath, passing all the warehouses, retail outlets and apartment blocks. Just after the Canal turns south, we cross to the towpath on the opposite bank. Part way along here are a series of colourful murals. At the end of the canal, we turn at the lock and follow the River Trent for the short distance back to Trent Bridge.
This is a Flat 5 walk (about 5 miles and mainly level). There are no stiles or gates. The paths are well made and make for easy walking. There is some road walking on good pavements.
There is no need to book in advance for this walk, just turn up on the day. There will be a drink stop during the walk, so please bring snacks or drinks.
After we finish the walk, there is the option of getting a drink and/or snack at one of the many food outlets near Trent Bridge.
Public transport can be used for this walk and numerous bus services call at Trent Bridge (buses 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 33, 90, 92, Keyworth, Mainline, The Cotgrave).
