A circular walk from Redmile, (44)
A circular walk from Redmile, (44)
Approaching Muston Gorse Bridge, number 57 from the River Trent on the Grantham Canal. This is another of the 46 bridges that were flattened in the 1950s and 60s after the canal was closed. There are the remains of a small basin and wharf on the near right where the barges used to unload coal for the cellars at Belvoir Castle, see SK8135 : A circular walk from Redmile, (40). The coal was transported to the Castle via a tramway, see SK8135 : Course of Belvoir (Beaver) Castle tramway.

To follow this walk of about 6 miles along the canal and public footpaths, park in the village of Redmile somewhere near the Peacock Inn and walk north west out of the village to the bridge where you can gain access to the tow path. Photographs taken along the length of the walk are collected here: LinkExternal link
