Dist:0.7km west<br/>Looking south along the canal from Kinoulton Road. This group of buildings, once the works for the now closed gypsum quarry on the other side of the road, are just in SK6733. They have been restored and are part of a small industrial estate and business park.

Dist:1.1km south<br/>Following the 45 metre contour the canal winds its way towards Cropwell Bishop. The gardens of the houses on Colston Road come right down to the canal boundary on the left while there is open farmland to the right. Walk round the bend ahead and you have sight of the Old Mill in [[161490]].

Dist:1.2km south<br/>The canal side footpath is well surfaced and used for walking and cycling. A public footpath leaves the canal on the bend and cuts across the fields to Cropwell Bishop.

Dist:1.3km south<br/>Blue Hill Bridge, on the Grantham Canal, was flattened and culverted during road improvements in the 1950s. Along with many other similar cases on the canal route this means the towpath is no longer continuous and access is by ramps from the road. The footpath and cycleway along the canal is a popular recreational resource.

Dist:1.3km south<br/>This clearly shows the culvert at bridge 23 under Colston Road. The Grantham canal passes through a shallow cutting at this point.

Dist:1.3km south<br/>At most access points to the Grantham Canal there is a location sign. This one is at Blue Hill Bridge on the Colston to Cropwell road.

Dist:1.3km south<br/>As you enter Cropwell Bishop you pass over the Grantham Canal. Because the canal passes through a cutting at this point and the bridge was flattened in the 1950s there is little to tell you that you are driving over a bridge. The access to the canal on the south side of the bridge is by the track on the left, [[816232]], and to the north by a steep path through the trees on the right, [[826501]].

Dist:1.3km south<br/>Looking towards Colston Bassett from Blue Hill Bridge. The turning on the right is the maintenance access to the Grantham Canal which is wide enough to allow a little parking. See [[816232]]
