This was once the route of the Nottingham Canal which ran from the coal fields at Langley Mill to the Trent at Nottingham. Since 1977, the Broxtowe Borough Council has owned and maintained the upstream sections from Wollaton to Langley Mill as a nature reserve and walking trail. This section of the trail runs along the backs of the houses on Hill Rise in Trowell, to the right. The trees on the left hide a steep hill.
