Nanpantan

The derelict Charnwood Forest Canal alongside the entrance to Longcliffe Golf Club in Nanpantan.

Nanpantan is a small village in the Charnwood borough of Leicestershire, England.[1] It is located in the south-west of the town of Loughborough, but the village is slightly separated from the main built-up area of Loughborough. It is also the site of the Nanpantan Reservoir.

The first edge rails used in a wagonway were on the Charnwood Forest Canal, in the section between Nanpantan and Loughborough.
