Swarkestone towpath

THE Canal & River Trust, working in partnership with Sustrans, is improving a 2.5km stretch of the Trent & Mersey Canal towpath starting at Swarkestone and connecting to the Cloud Trail which runs south to Worthington. The section is part of Route 6 of the National Cycle Network which connects London to the Peak District. The £800,000 project started in October and is expected to last 12 weeks.
