Behind these newly erected wooden railings (2012/2013) heavily wooded shale cliffs drop down towards the River Trent. This cliff-top path, designated The Avenue at this point, extends from Radcliffe towards Gibbet Hill (ahead). The path continues, in both direction, along a 15-20 foot wide strip of open land. This public walk, together with Rockley Memorial Park - an entrance gate to which is seen here - was gifted to the town's inhabitants in 1927 by Mr Lisle Rockley in memory of his son, who was killed at Ypres during WWI. This flower-garden type park can equally be accessed from Park Road, off Shelford Road, (i.e. the B Class road between Radcliffe and Shelford).
