Nottingham Canal Nature Reserve
East of the Newmanleys Road bridge the footpath/cycleway is built over the actual course of the canal. The section between here and Awsworth has been filled in and provides a very different habitat for wildlife compared to the water filled sections.

Newmanleys Road (South) south of Eastwood
Newmanleys Road was severed by the A610 Kimberley Eastwood Bypass; this section, which now appears totally unrelated to the rest of the road, acquired the bracketed suffix as a result. Newmanleys Road is less than 100 yards from here as the crow flies, but around half a mile away by road.

Nottingham Canal Nature Reserve
The surfaced footpath follows the old towpath and the section of the canal just north west of the Newmanleys Road bridge has been filled in to provide a boggy area. The busy A610 is just beyond the trees on the left.

Nottingham Canal
This canal fell into disuse in the 1930s following the rise of rail transport. The success of the Erewash Canal, only about 100 yards to the west, also contributed to its demise. It is now a Nature Reserve managed by Broxtowe Borough Council, which stretches from Langley Mill on the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border to Wollaton in Nottingham.
