The Great Northern Basin of Langley Mill, at the junction of the Erewash Canal and the Cromford and Nottingham canals, once bustled with activity. Today, it’s a great family day out with plenty to remind visitors of the canals in their heyday.
Watching boats pass into the Basin via the swingbridge, the only one of seven on the Nottingham Canal that is still working!
