Part of the eastern section of the former Old Newark Road is seen here from where the A6117 dual carriageway (a.k.a. Adamsway) bisects the former Old Newark Road. The first impression that users get of the route ahead is that the road is maintained in a perfectly usable condition. However, within 50 yds the route resorts to being a rough-and-ready track that is only suitable for mountain bikers, pedestrians and horses-riders. Residential accommodation on Chatsworth Drive exists behind the wooden fence/s, whereas on the right - beyond the gorse and brambles - arable land exists. 3 miles or so ahead this track joins the western-most section of the former Old Newark Road, that is maintained because houses and gardens open onto it.
