Walking the Five Pits Trail loop around Holmewood and Williamthorpe Image : Previous – (6 of 21) - Next : Image This northerly facing photograph of the trail was taken on the approach to Williamthorpe Nature Reserve from Devonshire Terrace (behind the viewpoint). An OS map surveyed in 1914 and published in 1921 shows that the trail at this point is following the trackbed of the Great Central Railway's route from the south, via Tibshelf, that continued on toward Staveley with a branch via Chesterfield. Beyond the trees on the right of the viewpoint is a small recreation area accessed from Bracken Avenue in Heath.
