Chesterfield Canal Boat Covers

The Chesterfield Canal runs 46 miles from the River Trent at West Stockwith through Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire to Chesterfield, though the western section beyond Norwood Tunnel has been lost and restoration is ongoing. The navigable section provides a wonderful cruising route through some of the most underated countryside in the East Midlands, passing through Worksop, Shireoaks, and a series of delightful rural locks and wooded sections. The canal is famous for Norwood Tunnel, one of the longest canal tunnels in England at 2,883 metres, which took eight years to build in the 1770s and still gives boaters a memorable experience today. The Thorpe Treble Locks near Worksop provide a pretty and practical staircase link. The Chesterfield Canal Trust has worked hard to restore and maintain this waterway, and it attracts boaters seeking something a little different from the mainstream canal network. Its exposed sections, particularly east of Worksop, can be subject to strong prevailing winds, making well-fitted boat covers important.
