Sheepbridge Lane, Mansfield, Notts.
Some older maps indicate that this area was once given over to allotments. Another marks a pub on this corner. Now however, a new-build housing development is almost complete on a site currently known as "Heritage Park". The entrance to this new estate of 17 houses, on Quarry Lane - to the right - has been named Woodland Park View.

The mid-point of the overall route, i.e. where the path crosses Hamilton Way and the next section, the southern section, is accessed is 3-4 minutes walk ahead. The end (or start) of this northern section, i.e. on Hermitage Lane, is 10 minutes walk away behind the photographer.

Oakham Nature Reserve, Mansfield, Notts.
A rudimentary ramp and some steps at the midpoint in a walk through the southern section of this “local nature reserve”. This LNR was created in 2005 to replace habitats lost through the construction of Oakham Business Park and it covers 6.3 hectares. Behind the photographer and a high fence is two-thirds of a former industrial mill pond (now a private fishing pond) that was bisected into one larger expanse of water and another smaller pond. This occurred following a decision by someone to create an embankment straight across the mill pond to carry a railway track from Reeds Mill(s) in the Bleak Hill area of the town to the area where Kingsmill Hospital is now situated.
