Heading out along Nutbrook trail from Straws bridge on our new years day walk it was freezing and the path was very icy and slippy, most people we met where walking on the edge or grass all the way to the canal, beautiful crisp day for a walk.

I had never heard of the Bennerley Viaduct until I saw Tim Dunn's tv programme about railway architecture. After a google search I was able to find it. Driving along the A6096 from Ilkeston there is a turning on the left for the kennels. There is a very small area to park. If you walk along the river you can see the viaduct through the bushes. Walk a little further an the bushes have been cleared and there is an information plate giving some history about the viaduct. I look forward to coming back when you can travel across it.

A great place to walk, cycle and much more! In the heart of the National Forest, Hicks Lodge is a former coal mining site that has been totally transformed by new plantings and exciting trails for you to enjoy. A great day out for the budding cyclist, from tearaway toddlers to young teens perfecting their skills, we’ve got a range of trails for beginner to intermediate appetites. Visit our lakeside bird hide where you can soak in the beautiful scenery and spot some unique wildlife, such as the migratory sand martins. There are also walking and horse riding paths to explore the forest, a play area and a café!

My partner and I popped into Hicks Lodge this afternoon. Parking was £3 for 2 hours, which felt fair. We hired 2 bikes, they cost £9 for an hour each. We didn't get helmets with the bike hire, which made me a little anxious, so please take your own if you'd like to wear one. There were a variety of trails of different difficulties. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring. There were plenty of places to stop for a picnic etc. There was also a cafe onsite and playpark, but we did not use this. There were portaloos in the carpark if required with hand sanitizer. We'd definitely visit if we were in the area again.

The Erewash valley trail was part of our new years day very cold walk, along the canal heading back towards Ilkeston it was quite busy with other people all out on an icy start to 2021, well worth a stroll.
