Welcome to Chesterfield Canal

Chesterfield Canal is a historic waterway that runs through South Yorkshire, connecting the towns of Chesterfield and Worksop. The canal was built in the late 18th century to transport coal and other goods from the Derbyshire coalfields to the River Trent. Today, the canal is a popular destination for boaters, walkers, and cyclists, offering a peaceful and scenic route through the heart of the county.

One of the most striking features of the Chesterfield Canal is its impressive engineering. The canal includes a number of impressive structures, including aqueducts, locks, and tunnels. The most famous of these is the Norwood Tunnel, which is over 1.5 miles long and was the longest canal tunnel in the country when it was built. The canal also includes a number of beautiful stone bridges, many of which are listed buildings.

The Chesterfield Canal is also an important wildlife habitat, providing a home for a wide range of plants and animals. The canal is particularly important for water birds, including kingfishers, herons, and swans. The canal is also home to a number of rare and endangered species, including the water vole and the white-clawed crayfish. As a result, the canal is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and is protected by law.
