Overview

A walk along the tow path from Shardlow to Sawley Marina stopping there for a coffee. Cafe Blue is definitely worth a visit. The walk then continues along to Trent Lock where we stop for lunch. Plenty of places to sit and admire the views and two pubs and a cafe for drinks and/ or lunch. We then retrace our steps back to Shardlow where we will have a debrief at The Malt Shove Inn.
