The canal runs for 33 miles between Grantham and the River Trent at West Bridgford. The canal, which opened in 1797 and was abandoned in 1936, is now mostly derelict. The canal had 18 locks, most of which have been demolished. Since the 1970s, the Grantham Canal Society have been working towards restoring the canal, and two stretches are now navigable.
