This unmade footpath, most of which is behind the photographer, continues into the copse and within 50 yards or so links to the top of a flight of concrete steps that drop down an embankment to reach the pavement at the side of the A617 (Chesterfield Road North) opposite the junction with the 'old' Chesterfield Road and The White Swan pub. To the rear of the photographer this footpath crosses a ploughed field and joins up with a track that connects the Pleasley end of Woburn Lane, Pleasley Hill with Radmanthwaite Cottage - a private residence - that is situated at its south-westerly termination. The word Radmanthwaite is derived from two words, a radman being a tenant owing his lord the duty of an armed escort + thwaite, being a clearing in a wood or land reclaimed for arable purposes.
