Beeston Lock to Attenborough Nature Reserve, 7th April 2019

Elaine led this 6-mile walk from Beeston Lock, down the Trent for a short distance, then back along the Nottingham & Beeston Canal and river bank before turning off through the Nature Reserve and Attenborough itself to the Nature Centre for coffee.  Then it was across to the Trent and back downstream to the start-point and a cup of tea (for some) at the recently opened Canalside Heritage Centre next to the lock.
