12 Adventures 1,2 & 3 - On The River Trent Please observe the Country Code, especially around Livestock The River Trent is one of the major rivers of England. Its source is in Staffordshire on the southern edge of Biddulph Moor. It flows for 185 miles through the Midlands until it joins the River Ouse at Trent Falls to form the Humber Estuary, which empties into the North Sea between Hull and Immingham. The Trent is unusual amongst English rivers in that it flows north (for the second half of its route), and in exhibiting a tidal bore, the "Trent Aegir". Your Adventure begins at either 1: Stapenhill, 2: Burton on Trent (Meadowside) or 3: Newton Solney. Shortly after the start of Adventure 1 you pass under Ferry Bridge, the original site of a ferry crossing the river dating back to Richard 2nd (14th Century). Later in 1879 carrying up to 17,754 people per month. The bridge that opened in 1889, for a total cost of 10,000 saw the demise of the old ferry. Follow the river until it splits near Peels cut. KEEP LEFT! KEEP LEFT! Ensure that you have taken the left hand river course. In most river conditions you will need to portage (get out and carry your canoe!) around the weir. Adventure 2 starts here. After returning to the river, keep left again continuing downstream until the River Dove joins the Trent from your left at Newton Solney. Adventure 3 starts here. The River Dove has come all the way down from Buxton in the Peak District. At Newton Solney, if river levels permit, you can get out on the public land on the right hand side of the river. Willington Bridge, Mr. James Trubshaw was the engineer who designed and built the bridge at a cost of 10, opened in 1839 and replaced a local ferry that had been used previously. Willington Power Station built in 1950 s; closed mid 1990 s. The remaining 5 cooling towers are known to be used as a nest site for peregrine falcons. Twyford was the site of a river crossing, there are remaining posts from the chain ferry last used in Our base at Poplars Farm will be on your left, look out for the orange marker Post where your Adventure, for today, ends. 28-Apr Trent Adventure - Version 3p4 12

16 Part 1 - The River Trent and onto the canal Please observe the Country Code, especially around Livestock The River Trent is one of the major rivers of England. Its source is in Staffordshire on the southern edge of Biddulph Moor. It flows for 185 miles through the Midlands until it joins the River Ouse at Trent Falls to form the Humber Estuary, which empties into the North Sea between Hull and Immingham. The Trent is unusual amongst English rivers in that it flows north (for the second half of its route), and in exhibiting a tidal bore, the "Trent Aegir". This trip offers a true Adventure combining both the River Trent and a quiet section of the Trent and Mersey Canal. Soon after your start, keep your eyes open for a small entrance on the right of the river to Anchor Caves. (You should have just passed an orange marker post on the left river bank) Paddle under the low foot bridge into the spring fed lagoon, with the caves now on your left. You can pull your canoes up onto the bank and explore the mysterious caves, once home to a hermit according to ancient legend. Back on the river you pass either side of Ingleby Island and head downstream beyond Barrow on Trent. On the approach to Swarkestone Bridge keep an eye out for the orange marker post river left, an ideal place to get out, maybe picnic or call at the Crewe and Harpur Pub? Now fully refreshed, and back on the water, aim for the right-hand arch of Swarkestone Bridge and ride the rapids. After you pass under the disused railway bridge, you will soon come across your exit on the left between the orange marker posts. 28-Apr Trent Adventure - Version 3p4 16

18 Part 2 - The Trent and Mersey canal and onto The River Trent Please observe the Country Code, especially around Livestock Traditionally, canal traffic passes on the right hand side (the opposite of driving on the road). Use good, clear hand signals, and give way to larger vessels. Canal bridges are identified by their number, watch out for them. The Trent and Mersey Canal is 93 miles long and, as the name suggests, connects the River Trent at Derwent Mouth to the River Mersey. Josiah Wedgwood cut the first sod in 1777, and it was completed with more than 70 locks and 5 tunnels. Josiah Wedgwood was a major backer of the Trent and Mersey Canal, through Stoke on Trent, as his business depended on the safe, smooth transport of his pots. Portage the short distance across the end of the field over to the canal, you now have a 2 mile paddle up to Swarkestone lock (keep a look out for other river traffic). When you get to Swarkestone exit left and portage (carry your canoe) around the lock, take care with traffic. Continue up the canal, your end destination being Bridge 17. You may wish to paddle a little beyond Bridge 17 and call at the Ragley boat stop pub before heading back to your pick up point of Bridge 17 from which you will be picked up. 28-Apr Trent Adventure - Version 3p4 18

You can pull your canoes up onto the bank and explore the mysterious caves, once home to a hermit according to ancient legend. Continue downstream past Ingleby, then Barrow on Trent with its impressive Poplar trees. Aim for the Right Hand Arch of Swarkestone Bridge through the rapids. Swarkestone Causeway, is, in total, just under a mile long and has 17 arches. It is the longest stone bridge, and the longest inland bridge in England. In 1745, Swarkestone Bridge was the southernmost point of Bonny Prince Charlie's advance on London, in his attempt to reclaim the British throne.
