Near the site of the old Farnsfield Station on the Mansfield, Southwell and Rolleston Junction Railway, built in 1847, closed to passengers in 1959 and wholly in 1964. Behind and straight ahead, the trackbed has been converted into a trail for walkers, cyclists and horseriders known as the Southwell Trail, which runs through from Southwell. To the right is a branch which ran to Ollerton (opened 1931) which has also been converted into a trail.
