Faint traces of the ironstone railway at High Leys
The Waltham Iron Ore Co Ltd built a metre-gauge railway from the end of the standard gauge Eaton Branch (SK791309) to a number of quarries on the Terrace Hills, near Knipton Reservoir and at High Leys. The High Leys quarry was behind the trees and Granby and Harts quarries away to the right. The trackbed of the narrow-gauge railway can be seen as a curving line in the field, just below the Knipton road hedge. Ploughing has almost removed the embankment where the line followed the bend in the road, but it can still be made out in the centre left of this picture. The narrow-gauge railway operated from 1886-1958, and from 1936 on was probably unique in England in having two French locomotives, named "Nantes" and "Cambrai", the second of which is preserved at the Irchester Narrow Gauge Railway in Northamptonshire https://web.archive.org/web/20090907032209/http://www.ingrt.freeuk.com/04.htm .

On Windsor Hill
To the west of the road at the top of Windsor Hill is Sir John's Belt, a band of beech trees; some old, probably part of an ancient avenue on the approach to Belvoir; many much younger. "John" is a frequent name in the Manners family, Dukes of Rutland of Belvoir Castle, but which John planted these old trees I do not know!
