Trent Valley Way

OnTrent is working with partners throughout the Trent to bring about a Trent Valley Way stretching some 170 miles from its source near Stoke to the Humber.

PFF's showing the route are available to view and download to the right of this page.

Already established for 84 miles through Nottinghamshire, it will be a long distance footpath and, where possible, multi-user way throughout the Trent. The TVW will celebrate the Trent, its cities, towns and villages, wildlife and history, enhancing people’s wellbeing, linking communities, attracting visitors and contributing to local economies.

The route will link many cities and towns: Stoke, Stone, Rugeley, Burton-upon Trent, Long Eaton, Nottingham, Newark, Gainsborough and Scunthorpe and pass through Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and North Lincolnshire.

By bringing people to the river, we can explain some of the current and historical issues and OnTrent’s work and get people involved in a range of projects along the Trent. 

Towards the end of 2011 we will be working with some schools at the downstream end to produce some local walking leaflets. .

Partners include: The Environment Agency, Local Authorities, Wildlife Trusts, British Waterways, Trent Valley Archaeology, Sustrans, Trent Vale Landscape Partnership and others.
