The Two Public Houses of Ruspidge - Forest of Dean
Looking up, to the North, along Ruspidge road towards Cinderford. On the left is the Rising Sun and almost immediately opposite the rival New Inn. Both public houses are lively and with a strong social life and either make a welcome break when exploring 'this neck of the woods.'

Granny Weavings Lane - Ruspidge
Between the two power poles is the uphill unadopted footpath known as Granny Weavings Lane. It link Tramway at the bottom with Buckshaft about 150 yards higher up the slope. Somewhat uniquely the footpath cuts into Buckshaft (which is shaped like a horizontal Z) and replaces the road surface with this one and a half metre wide hand-railed footpath. You cannot drive from one end of Buckshaft to the other because of the 'footpath' section in the middle !

Looking up Granny Weavings Lane
Standing in Tramway Road looking up Granny Weavings Lane (with Grindles Lane running to the left this side of the hedge). Granny Weavings Lane gets steeper yet and at the top forms the link to the two, otherwise disconnected, portions of Bucskhaft Road ... one of the few roads that is metalled, becomes a hand-railed footpath and then re-invents itself as a rough tarmac/gravel single track road.
You will see that it is 'No Cycling' down this somewhat steep footpath.

Old Eastern United Colliery buildings
Before its demise in January 1959 this complex of buildings housed the pithead workings of the Eastern United Colliery. The mine had an adit or more or less horizontal tunnel dug into the hillside until a commercially viable level or stratum of coal was reached.
