The view from the observation platform on the raised wooden walkway, featuring the permanent freshwater pond and emerging vegetation. The course of Hucknall Road can also be seen. This bridge carries the A611 road over the Robin Hood Line (Mansfield-Nottingham) railway tracks and the Hucknall-Nottingham tram route. Moorbridge Pond and the nearby Springfield Corner Reserve site - to the right of this picture, although not visible - were awarded Local Nature Reserve (LNR) status, as a joint site, in June 2012.
