The below photo shows the route that the new footpath will take from the top end of Ilott Wharf (where the restoration route diverges from the original route) heading into Measham.

The first part runs from the towpath, past the winding hole at the current terminus of navigation then continues to follow the old canal line up to the Gilwiskaw brook (site of the future aqueduct). The Ilott Wharf site starts the other side of the brook.

The red line is the proposed route of the new footpath (roughly following the canal restoration route) and the yellow line is where it intersects with an existing public footpath from Measham.

It will ensure that walkers have a safe, clear route between Snarestone & Measham with just one road to cross and none to walk along (aside from on the pavement over the road bridge running across the brook) and will give the public a better idea of where the canal will run in the future.
