This minor road is a left-hand turning off the main Mansfield-Nottingham Road (the A60) 500m south of the unofficially-named "Banyan Tree roundabout". This is part of the former London-York (via Nottingham) Road as it rises up Red Hill Ridge, parallel with the A60 that is situated on the other side of the stone wall. In 1218 this stretch of the road was referred to as the "rubeam rodam" (the red road)" according to the Revs. R.W. King & J. Russell (eds), in "A History of Arnold" (1913). At the crown of the hill a road bridge to the right carries a limited amount of traffic over the A60 to another part of this hamlet; to the Leapool Allotments site (Gedling Borough Council) and to two covered reservoirs, the Redhill and the Wernbank reservoirs.
