This video is 3 of 3 in the series that shows the 15miles section from Kiverton Water ro Chesterfield via the TPT. The route taken is the Cukoo way. Leaving Kiverton Waters the signposting is pretty poor and needless to say we got lost and took our own route to get on to the TPT via The Rother Valley Country PArk. A nice stretch of the old railway line rejoins you back on to the canal. 2 nice coffee shops and plenty of phot opportunities with the array of bridges and landscapes. We reached Chesterfield then doubled back to Kiverton following the abandoned canal towpath.

Looks like you took a wrong turn! At 5.55 you're on the right path, you should have gone straight on, crossing over cycle route 6, onto another narrow path over a field. This leads to the M1 farmers underpass (not the one with a kissing gate). Other side of M1, path turns right, then after 50m left down a field along a path. End of path there was a stile (missing in 2023), onto rough path. To the left is the location of the west portal of Norwood Tunnel but overgrown so hard to see now! Short distance along rough path you'll see canal holding pond on your left. Wooden gate and narrow fenced path, Chesterfield canal along frontsof the houses, then another holding pond, then a fenced off bridge. Continue down the driveway to the main road, turn right and 100m to Rother Valley entrance. WARNING: watch out for carpet tacks!!!.
