• Learn about the history and stories of Bennerley Viaduct at a countryside walk.
• Recently rescued by a grassroots group of Friends, and reopened to the public for cycling and walking, this 1400ft monument straddles the Derbyshire-Nottinghamshire border, with intricate lattice work and beautiful natural surroundings.
• The viaduct is an engineering marvel and a must-see for railway and industrial history fans.
• Walk along the new deck and see the views of the Erewash Valley.
• See what a community can do, in a post-industrial town, to rescue their history and invest in nature and each other.
• Walk the pathways and habitats created by our volunteers, and hear from us about our pride in the Iron Giant of Ilkeston and Awsworth.

Practical Details:

• The walk is approx. 1.5-2 hours long.
• Sturdy shoes are recommended. The walk is moderately challenging, with some uneven pathways, some steps, and one gate requiring stooping.
• Dog friendly!
