Transforming the Trent Valley

Project Summary

The Trent valley Way is a long distance walking route along the River Trent from source to estuary. Our project is developing and promoting the Trent Valley Way within the Transforming the Trent valley landscape. The walking route will act as a spine along the river valley, connecting heritage, places and communities.
This walk will link up with other access routes including footpaths, cycle ways and the National Forest Way, as well as some of our heritage projects. Along its length are a series of circular routes connecting to key cultural, industrial and natural heritage sites.

We will be holding a Trent Valley Way walking festival on the 24th and 25th of September 2022, to find out more please view the TVW poster.

The length upstream of Rugeley in Staffordshire is just a provisional line on a map at the moment. We hope to be able to develop and promote it in the long term, dependant on future funding.
