Phoenix Greenways

Great for walking, cycling and horse riding.

The greenways are a network of easy access off-road trails and quiet lanes. Once railways and pits (collieries), the trails are rising like a Phoenix from the ashes of industry.


Using the Phoenix Greenways you can explore some of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire's most beautiful landscapes. With great attractions in the surrounding area you can spend the day, a weekend or even a week.


While you are here, why not try our new audio trail. Using a smartphone, look for the symbols by the trail and download audio about the trails history and countryside.
