Paths across fields from Adin Avenue, Shuttlewood towards Markham Vale. Direct off road route to the industrial estate from a nearby village.
Looking towards where the old railway sidings were at Seymour, taken on the River Doe Lea flood bank off Seymour Link Road
Always a big puddle here, could do with a better surface as after heavy rain it's hard to get around it as it fills the lane
Entrance to Birch Hill Plantation, off Mansfield Road. Taken from Poulterwell Lane, that leads to Palterton.
Poulterwell Lane, where the water runs across the lane from Poulter well and forms the start of the river Poulter
Church Road Stanfree. Good surface here but gets very muddy and rutty further down towards Bolsover. Could be a good off road cycle path linking Stanfree with the edge of Bolsover if the surface was improved.
Church Road, otherwise known as Stanfree Lane, links Stanfree with Shuttlewood Road Bolsover, cutting out main roads through Shuttlewood.
Route signs at Hoodcroft access on Clowne Greenway. This turn off is the quickest access to Stanfree
Hoodcroft Lane. Bridleway linking Stanfree to the Clowne Greenway, main access for the residents of Stanfree. Surface not ideal to cycle on most of the year.
Poor deteriorating surface on Stockley Trail, rain has run down the slope, washed the surface away and caused a deep rut in the middle
Stile, but a gap has been left giving access for cyclists, horse riders etc, only a footpath though.
Old path from Clowne Road to Church Road than runs alongside Hawke Brook, a lot more overgrown and disused than it was in the 80s!
Not suitable for cycling (at least not for a while) but there's an old footpath alongside Hawke Brook that's been used for generations to gain access from Clowne Road, to Church Road, although it's a lot less used these days than 30 years a ... [more]
Former Shuttlewood water treatment works. Possibly a way of forming a connection to the old Oxcroft Branch Line and then onto Seymour from the Oxcroft/Bolsover area
Site of former Shuttlewood water treatment works, all been flattened now, but the old track to the site remains, and could provide access to Mill Lane/ the former oxcroft disposal point site.
Old lane up to Bentinck Road. The terraced houses were built for Oxcroft Colliery, and the lane was used by the miners to get to work until the colliery closed in the 1970s.
Drainage channels under Woodhouse Lane. There is/was an underpass here, it was filled in after the landscaping of the former pit tip was completed.
Disused railway line that provides a great alternative to the footpath through the fields up to Heath from the Stockley Trail
Opening into field from old Ramcroft branch line, over flat, and well constructed concrete topped, stone railway bridge, linking up with existing footpath through fields and under M1 to Heath.
Overgrown pathway on Church Road, flatter than the proper path which has deep ruts but needs some TLC to make it easier to bike on. Unfortunately this lane suffers due to motorbike use.
Plaque commemorating the death in 1909 of a crossing attendant and on Christmas Eve 1910 of three children and another child in 1923 on the unmanned level crossing of the Lancashire Derbyshire and East Coast Railway at Carr Vale.
