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.
