Look to your right as you head along NCN 6 towards Derby... A wonderful sculpture of a giraffe nestled amongst the trees! May be tricky to spot through the trees/bushes etc. But its a nice surprise when you do!

Spondon Linear Park

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Cycle and walking path on the route of the derelict Derby and Sandiacre canal. Nice flat route but with varying quality surface. The eastern end is excellent tarmac, the central portion fairly rocky and the western part old tarmac.
