This short length of path is on the route of the 1802 Ashby Railway, a.k.a. Ticknall Tramway. When its replacement, the Ashby and Breedon railway, was built over parts of the route, many old sections were left disused. However, this section, although no longer part of the through-route, was retained as a siding.
