Sawley Cut and Locks

Highlight • River

Sawley Cut and the Locks were built around 1796, to bypass difficult and shallow sections of the Trent Navigation, also in response to the Trent Navigation Company losing out to the Trent and Mersey Canal, Derby Canal, Erewash Canal, and Nottingham Canal.

Telford's Warehouse

Highlight • Monument

When visiting the Red-Brick Warehouse on the Canal, take a moment to appreciate its unique architectural feature: the internal canal arm that allowed boats to be loaded or unloaded within the building. This design, common in historic canal warehouses, facilitated efficient transshipment of goods directly from the waterway to storage. Such features are exemplified in structures like Telford's Warehouse in Chester, where boats could enter the building for loading and unloading.

Shardlow Wharf

Highlight • Historical Site

So important was Shardlow as an 18th-century river port, it was often referred to as 'Little Liverpool' and 'Rural Rotterdam' during its heyday. Its location on the Trent Lock, where the Mersey and Trent Canal meets the River Soar and Erewash Canal, meant that Shardlow was a bustling place.

Today, it is considered the most intact example of a classic canal village and has over 50 Grade II-listed buildings. When exploring the area, there are many places for a pit stop along the towpaths.

Harrington Bridge Over the River Trent

Highlight • River

Harrington Bridge crosses the River Trent near Sawley in Derbyshire carrying the Tamworth Road (B6540) into Leicestershire. The stonework of the bridge dates from 1790, but the central section was replaced in 1905 after it was damaged by flood water. The central section is the only part of the bridge that is not a listed building.
