The entrance to Firs Farm at the side of the southern section of Black Scotch Lane, i.e. south of the A617, a road that bisects this lane about 50 yards to the left.

Firs Farm is seen here from the south section of Black Scotch Lane, i.e. the part of Black Scotch Lane south of the A617, a road that has for a number of years (number unknown) bisected this lane 150 yards ahead.

Track heading north from the A617.

The path and bridleway ahead leads users past Firs Farm and terminates when it reaches a T junction with a footpath that follows the course of the Old Newark Road. These bollards obviously exist to prevent most motor vehicles from entering or exiting this southern section of Black Scotch Lane. The northern section of the lane continues behind the photographer on the other side of the A617 road.

Heading east towards Newark.

A pedestrian and bridleway island in the middle of the A617 road allowing not motorised users to cross from the northern to the southern section of Black Scotch Lane - and vice versa - in safety. Firs Farm is evident in the distance.

The view from the rear dormer window of this house in Chatsworth Drive might include this T junction. The shaft of the letter T is the southern-most part of Black Scotch Lane, whereas the horizontal bar of the T is a track following the course of the Old Newark Road.

A pedestrian and bridleway entrance/exit that allows users to cross the A617 road from the northern to the southern section of Black Scotch Lane - and vice versa - now that A617 has bisected this farm lane (new road opened in late 2004). Firs Farm is evident in the distance. A footpath following the route of the Old Newark Road can be reached on the other side of this road following a 15 minute walk ahead.

On the other side of the A6117 dual carriageway (a.k.a. Adamsway), between the high fences, a surfaced footpath leads 150 yds downhill until it reaches the south-westerly edge of the Bellamy Road (residential) Estate and a mile long properly-maintained stretch of the former Old Newark Road (still called Old Newark Road). The eastern section of the former Old Newark Road, on this side of the road, gives the impression of being maintained in a usable condition however, within 50 yds the route resorts to being a rough-and-ready track that is only suitable for mountain bikers, pedestrians and horses-riders. The Lindhurst Wind Farm can is also visible in the distance.
