The Cuckoo Way is a 46-mile Long Distance Footpath following the Chesterfield Canal from Chesterfield to West Stockwith where the canal joins the River Trent. The Norwood Tunnel at Kiveton Park (now closed) takes the canal underground for just over 1½ miles and walkers have to travel overland using public footpaths between the east and west portals. Having left Kiveton Community Woodland behind, the photo above shows a group of walkers heading west along the path near Wales village towards the M1 motorway.
