Small riverside park beside the Derby Canal lock in Chellaston offering classic waterscape scenes: locks, towpaths, brickwork, calm reflections, mature trees and seasonal wildlife. Best at golden hour for warm light on the brick and smooth reflections; overcast days bring even, moody tones. Easily accessible from roadside parking and short walks along flat towpaths — no entry fee. Weekday mornings are quiet; check for muddy sections after rain.
