Nottingham Canal walks - Waterside walks are very peaceful, water helps us relax and forget about our busy schedules. Take a walk down the city's canal-side and enjoy a warm drink at Canalhouse. If you're more of a rural walking enthusiast then the beautiful riverside area of Farndon near Newark is perfect for you. Start your walk at the Chapel Lane car park and look out for St Peter’s Church, which dates back to Elizabethan times. Farndon Boathouse is the perfect place for lunch, dinner, or a drink while you are out exploring.
