The Chesterfield Canal is ideal for walking along its entire length. The towpath is called The Cuckoo Way and is clearly signposted for all 46 miles from Chesterfield to West Stockwith.
For general information and a guide to the whole length, click here.
You can download nearly fifty different walks along the full length of the canal by clicking here.
The best book is our own Walking along the Chesterfield Canal, written by our Cuckoo Way officer, David Blackburn. The 25 walks, each with its own map, cover every inch of the canal as well as plenty of the surrounding areas. It includes lots of interesting information about the canal and has plenty of photographs. It is available in our Shop at Hollingwood Hub, at Tapton Lock Visitor Centre, or you can buy it from our online shop by clicking here.
