Walking the Five Pits Trail loop around Holmewood and Williamthorpe Image : Previous – (8 of 21) - Next : Image This north-westerly facing photograph of the trail was taken inside the Williamthorpe Nature Reserve at the point where it begins to drop down to skirt the northern end of the two main ponds. - - - Although landscaping has removed all evidence of the original Great Central Railway's trackbed, it was here, at Heath Junction, where the railway's Chesterfield Loop branch line departed from the main line that continued on toward Staveley. The Five Pits Trail follows the approximate route of the Chesterfield Loop branch for a short distance before another divergence onto what was the Williamthorpe Colliery Branch line.
