A view from the north-west boundary of Cloudside, a public open space reached from either Church Drive or Cloudside Drive. This is a grassy area situated on the plateau of a sandstone outcrop providing views across a stretch of the M1 motorway, the Erewash Valley Golf Club site, Stanton by Dale and the former Stanton Ironworks. The name "Stony Clud" (Stony Cloud in its more modern form) is said to come from "clud", the Saxon word for hill.
