The River Trent with Netherfield Lagoons Nature Reserve and the suburbs of Netherfield, Colwick and Carlton in the distance. This picture was taken from the cliff-top path - designated The Avenue at this point - that extends from Radcliffe towards Gibbet Hill (to the left of this view). This path hugs the edge of the top of a 15-20 foot wide strip of open land situated on the top of some impressive shale cliffs overlooking the River Trent. This cliff-top walk and Rockley Memorial Park (of the flower garden type), a mile or so away, was gifted to the town's inhabitants by Mr Lisle Rockley in memory of his son, who was killed at Ypres during WWI. The river acts as an administrative boundary between Gedling NG14 and NG12.
