Chesterfield Canal Trust are dedicated to the promotion and restoration of the Chesterfield Canal. The Chesterfield Canal actually runs for a full 46 miles and 11 miles have been fully restored since 1989 including 36 locks and 11 bridges. Even with just 9 miles left to restore there is obviously still a lot of manpower and money required to complete the work.
Here are a number of ways you could help out......

The fully restored and extended Lock House is due to open on Wednesday 1st June.
