Walking the daft one
In Grange Wood This hilly piece of woodland alongside the Nottingham Canal route is too much of a temptation for the local bikers. The undergrowth has been worn away by numerous pairs of tyres.

Footpath along the Nottingham Canal Nature Reserve. Note how high the canal route is compared to the roofs of the houses on Haynes Avenue, Trowell. This canal follows the 60 metre contour from Wollaton in SK5039, round 804508 up to Awsworth in SK4743, often being quite a height above the adjacent land.

A choice of public right of way Public footpath to the left and public bridleway to the right. The green area in the middle is the filled in Nottingham Canal. On the OS 1:50,000 map this is shown as still in water but has been filled in for some time. Since 1977, the Broxtowe Borough Council has owned and maintained the upstream sections of the canal from Wollaton to Langley Mill as a nature reserve and walking trail. This part is at Trowell.
