- Hello everyone, another great local Derbyshire ride out to Bennerley Viaduct(The Iron Giant). It is a 29 mile ride using a mixture of cycleway, road, canals & bridleways. It starts at Darley Abbey Park in Derby then out to Bennerley Viaduct passing along & through the following places; The Great Northern Greenway, Mapperley, Nottingham Canal, Erewash Canal, Shipley Country Park & Brackley Gate.
Here is the link to my Komoot map of the route: www.komoot.com...
Enjoy!
The Friends of Bennerley Viaduct site have some info about the closures, looks like it should be open again soon.
Simples getting on the viaduct from the canal, not so the other side, my last time there was a load of steps, not ideal with a bike or not able to walk very well
The bridge over the river Erewash has been permanently closed due to imminent collapse @ 10:33
I had exactly the same issue 10 days ago having got to the blocked off section I was blooming annoyed to have to take the long route round. It was also quiet when I was there so I'm thinking people are put off with there not being a through route..
I visited last year on my 1990s mtb and had such a bad day there - when I got onto the end of the viaduct it absolutely slung it down and zero cover. Coming back was a nightmare, getting stuck in overgrowth along disappearing tracks in Ilkeston. Then 7 or 8 hills back on the road, followed by getting fired at by stray golf balls from Morley Hays. I have filed this under "never again/don't bother"! The only nice section was along that canal.
Jesus Christ bet your great fun to ride with 🤔
Last time I was at the steps of the BV they had a bike wheel Gutter to help push up or use walk mode? Is it staying or will it be accessible like the other end?😊
I think so, it looks like they are building a multi use path up to it just like the canal side 🙂
