Bleak Hill Sidings, Sheepbridge Lane, Mansfield, Notts.
A 150 metre stroll up a gently sloping service road (a track), off the left-hand side of Sheepbridge Lane (marked by the entrance gates into the premises of ICS Waste Management plc.) leads to this footbridge that crosses Sheepbridge Lane. The footpath ahead passes behind the new "Heritage Park" housing development. It is part of a centuries old unmade path leading towards what is now the Portland Retail Park near to the town centre. The path is known locally as Cinderella Walk, perhaps because of past associations with burnt fuel residue, i.e. cinders. 400-500 metres along this path there is also the option to make a right-hand turn and thereby to access Quarry Lane Nature Reserve and the River Maun.
