Calver Close
Right on the edge of Derby - Calver Close is very close to the A608 Mansfield Road, though here I think it is called Hill Top.
This is one of the older areas of this huge development on the NE side of Derby. Having said that it is not a very old development and compared to many areas of Derby is modern.

Great Northern Greenway
The former Great Northern Railway ran through Derby City to Ilkeston and beyond into Nottingham and was known locally as the Friargate Line.
The passenger railway was closed in the 1960’s and for many years it has been identified for redevelopment as a traffic free transport route and recreational amenity. The realisation of this route as a countryside trail is finally gathering steam.
We completed the first 1.5miles, between Mansfield Road in Derby City to Brookside Road in Breadsall Village, in November 2009.
The trail has an all weather surface and provides easy access all year round for walkers, families with prams, mobility scooters, cyclists and horse riders.
This route passes through the Breadsall Wildlife Site.
