Report

This route is functional but rather inaccurate when it comes to walking alongside the canal path. The GPX route (turn left instruction) at the canal bridge at What3Words ///ending.saints.buddy takes you over the flood protection wall to a footpath parallel to the canal. You will need to turn right instead of left once over the bridge. This will take you to down a ramp onto the canal path and under the bridge you've just crossed.
Another point of note: the footpath before the canal bridge is narrow, dark and can get very muddy after only a little rain. The Beenot Two route along the canal maybe preferred for this reason (only slightly longer in distance).

Report

A nice walk along the canal (although there are some narrow sections) but there is a very narrow muddy footpath between the canal and Beeston town which takes you past a sewerage treatment plant and an industrial estate which is less pleasant.

Report

Excellent walk from the city centre along the canal. The path to the industrial estate is a bit rundown though, it might be better to go as far as Weirfield Recreation Ground and follow Meadow Road to Station Road.
