Making life better by water
The Nottingham & Beeston Canal takes you into the heart of the city, and is a key feature of the vibrant waterfront district.
This 5 mile stretch of canal, nestled in our East Midlands region, starts where the Upper Trent meets the River Trent, from Beeston Lock to Meadow Lane Lock, where it rejoins the River Trent.
The surviving canal was once part of a much longer route, which is now derelict. The present-day stretch remains a vital link for boaters, allowing them to bypass an unnavigable section of the River Trent.
Nottingham's Castle Wharf area is buzzing with bars, nightlife and alfresco dining, all at the water's edge. It is overlooked by Nottingham Castle, perched dramatically on a high rock above the city.
From city centre shops, bars and theatres to a relaxing walk to the famous Trent Bridge, discover more about Nottingham's waterways.
