This footpath continues into the copse ahead and very quickly links to the top of a flight of steps descending down an embankment to reach the side of the A617 Road (Chesterfield Road North), opposite the junction with the 'old' Chesterfield Road junction and The White Swan pub. Behind the photographer the footpath continues across the ploughed field and a couple of minutes later it joins a track that connects the Pleasley end of Woburn Lane, Pleasley Hill with a private residence called Radmanthwaite Cottage at the termination of the lane. This arable land seems likely to belong to Wren Hill Farm, Lower Radmanthwaite. The name 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. In the distance is the former Pleasley Colliery that ceased to produce coal in the 1980s.
