This section of a footpath skirts a site now known as Oxclose Wood. The area was landscaped on a colliery spoil site that was previously part of Mansfield Woodhouse's Sherwood Colliery. Walkers following the path into the distance have the option of finishing at the side of the A6191 (Chesterfield Road) in the Bull Farm suburb, whereas by turning left walkers can either continue on until they reach the village of Mansfield Woodhouse or within a few minutes they can turn off this particular path and join a different part of this particular "Mansfield Woodhouse Heritage Trail" and walk towards Pleasley Vale or Pleasley Hill. Oxclose Wood, as this area is now known, was landscaped on a colliery spoil site that was once part of Mansfield Woodhouse's Sherwood Colliery.
