The walk is moderately challenging, with some uneven pathways and some steps.We always welcome dogs but they must be kept on leads at all times!How to get here: DO NOT FOLLOW THE POSTCODE. It is provided to help you find the area, but the viaduct has no postcode.Special extra parking is provided in a compound underneath the viaduct. Access via Newtons Lane off Awsworth Road (what3words reference: ///played.reds.whites). If you are coming from Nottingham (A6096, Shilo Way) turn RIGHT onto Newtons Lane then turn RIGHT again just before the railway bridge. If you are coming from Ilkeston, it is your first LEFT after the railway bridge. It can be tricky navigating this road as digital map systems show Newtons Lane as Awsworth Road, we highly recommend using what3words for your journey. The gate to the lane will be open. Drive down the tarmac lane until you arrive underneath the viaduct. Volunteers will be on hand to direct parking. If you are walking to us, cross the Erewash canal through the woodland track, cross the railway footbridge and follow the path to the compound.More details and parking advice on this webpage:Visiting UsAccess Information:The walk is moderately challenging, with some uneven pathways.
