Grantham Canal

Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire

The Grantham Canal was opened in 1797, and was built to link Grantham with the River Trent at Nottingham. Restoration of the canal is underway with much of it now navigable again. The towpath provides an opportunity to enjoy the countryside in the East Midlands, running through the heart of the Vale of Belvoir and passing through many unspoilt villages. Part of the Leicestershire section has been designated an SSSI.

Detailed walk descriptions available from Grantham Canal Society website (from menu 'The Canal/Using the Canal/Linear Walks').
