Gerry Dalton's Pompeii Art Wall

Highlight • Monument

Gerry Dalton was an amateur artist who filled his flat and garden with his sculptures. He died in 2019, but the artwork has been preserved. The garden is clearly visible from the towpath of the Grand Union Canal.

Scrubs Lane Bridge – Grand Union Canal

Highlight • River

One of Britain's longest cycle routes, NCN 6 runs all the way from London to the Lake District, via the East Midlands and Manchester.

At almost 500 miles (800 km), it's certainly not the most direct route, but a varied patchwork of railway trails, colliery paths, towpaths and minor roads, taking in several cities and large towns. Leicester, Derby, Nottingham, Sheffield and Manchester are all en route.
