Summer skywalk guided tour 12 August
August 12 @ 18:00 – 20:00
Join us for a special guided walk at Bennerley Viaduct, one of only two wrought iron viaducts nationally, and its beautiful surroundings.
- Learn about the history and stories of Bennerley Viaduct on a countryside walk.
- Recently rescued by a grassroots group of Friends, and reopened to the public for cycling and walking, this 1400ft monument straddles the Derbyshire-Nottinghamshire border, with intricate lattice work and beautiful natural surroundings.
- The viaduct is an engineering marvel and a must-see for railway and industrial history fans.
- Walk along the new deck and see the views of the Erewash Valley.
- See what a community can do, in a post-industrial area, to rescue their history and invest in nature and each other.
- Walk the pathways and habitats created by our volunteers, and hear from us about our pride in the Iron Giant of Ilkeston and Awsworth.
- Please consider donating generously to keep our project growing. We accept digital qr code scanning payments, but please use cash where you can so we retain full value. Cheques are also welcome.
