An old established line of communication between Hucknall and Bulwell which has bridleway status and has been promoted as a cycle route avoiding the main roads. It is clearly well used as such - I was passed by 3 cyclists in the space of around 20 minutes. The name looks as if it derived from the name of a person, Farley, associated with the land in the area, but in fact derives from the fact that it was the way to the Far Leys - the distant meadows.
