About

The Big Track Waterside Cycle Route

Distance: 10 miles (16 km)

A scenic 10 mile walking and cycling route.

You can use the Big Track to get around the city on foot or by bike. It goes all the way from Trent Bridge to Beeston Lock, with the city centre in between, so you can pop up at all sorts of places, like Nottingham Forest football club as well as the Trent Bridge cricket ground, Nottingham Train Station or Castle Marina.

If you want to de-stress - or maybe lose a few pesky pounds - the Big Track is convenient for plenty of workplaces and is a great way of getting to the office. Or if you just fancy a saunter for a pint or a cuppa, you’re definitely on the right track.

The Big Track brings some big benefits - making getting fit and feeling good really simple - and, like the best things in life, it’s free. But beware - the Big Track might not just change the way you get around - it could also change your life. The Big Track will help you unwind and go with the flow. You might also start to appreciate the little things in life - like spotting a heron, chatting to a walker or just enjoying the great outdoors.
