Look at this lovely heron!

Taken on the Nottingham Canal close to the Awsworth end of the viaduct, by one of our trustees (who tells us the heron's name is Harry😁)

We'd love to see any other #wildlife photos from around Bennerley Viaduct, if you have them!

On 29 July we're celebrating the nature that thrives around the Iron Giant. Come along for stalls and activities, and to enjoy the great outdoors!

If you'd like a free pitch, or to host an activity, at the event let us know: [email protected]

The sun's out! Who's planning a picnic at the #weekend? We have some lovely grassy areas beneath, and close to, the viaduct if you're looking for a new perspective!

If you visit us, please do take your litter home - it's one less thing for our volunteer rangers to worry about.

Name that flower! We're really enjoying seeing the wild flora establishing itself around the viaduct, and our volunteers are learning to ID lots of species.

We'd love to see your photos too!

2022 has been a big year!
On Sun 7 Aug we are hosting an event to officially declare Bennerley Viaduct open & celebrate the Friends of Bennerley Viaduct signing a lease, and receiving funds from @HeritageFundUK to begin a new phase in #TheIronGiant's life! Can you join us?

We love the view over the River Erewash from the top of #TheIronGiant. Often flooded in winter, the water levels are low right now and giving the horses and cattle somewhere to keep cool!
Please do keep sharing your pics of views from the deck 📷 🐎 🌱☀️
