A Vision of the Future – Derby to Nottingham Green Corridor

    The CTC Thursday Ride Group have cycled from Ratcliffe Lane/Long Lane (near Kegworth) to Clifton along the relatively traffic free route of the old A453.

Which is now only an access road to Barton in Fabis and a link between Barton and Thrumpton. The new A453 dual carriageway is just visible in the background.

There is now a route between Derby and Nottingham that is either off-road or relatively traffic-free following the Riverside Path out of Derby to Elvaston Castle,  Ambaston, Shardlow, Sawley Marina,  past East Midlands Parkway and Ratcliffe Power Station and on through Clifton. Once the new tram service is operating there is even an option of leaving a bike at the new Clifton Park and Ride.
