Opis

Bennerley Marsh is an excellent area of mixed habitats. The area once a coal mine with blast furnaces is now a wildlife reserve. The River Erewash (the county border) meanders North to South. The area has two tree lined canals on the West and East sides (one of which is disused), a number of fields used as pasture land and a sewage works. The area is dominated by the large Bennerley Viaduct (built 1877/88) that is now a cycling and walking route. It is one of only two wrought iron viaducts still to be seen in the country, the other one is Meldon Viaduct near Okehampton in Devon.

From the 'fishermans' car park head North along the West side of the disused Nottingham Canal.
