About
This little-known walking trail starts at the Hollingwood Hub and follows two waterways, the beautiful river Rother and the Chesterfield Canal. A fantastic trail for spotting nature and learning about the industrial heritage of Chesterfield.
Please note the walk can sometimes be overgrown in places and the riverside footpath, which although is mostly flat, can be tricky underfoot. This walk is best suited to more adventurous walkers - good boots and long trousers are essential.
