On the trackbed of the former Great Northern Railway's Derbyshire Extensions line, known as the 'Back Line'. This small area has been allowed to develop with the typical vegetation – gorse and broom, etc. - of the heathland that would originally have been typical of the area. Part of the Hucknall Road Walkway. Beyond is modern housing built on the old trackbed towards Daybrook.
