Bestwood Country Park, NG5, Notts.
Gaunt's Hill, off Main Drive has been the subject of a puzzle recently (Sept 2014) about who owns it and who, therefore, is responsible for its upkeep. A single private dwelling lies along it. Bestwood Lodge - now a hotel - is situated 10 minutes walk ahead and the Alexander Lodges, a pair of Gothic Revival style lodges, lie 15-20 minutes walk away behind the photographer.

Track junction north of Gaunt's Hill, Bestwood Country Park
At this point, the track to the right becomes a public footpath, but is open to vehicles for access to a riding school a quarter of a mile further on. The track ahead forms one of the main paths through the country park, hence the provision of access for pedestrians and horses but not for unauthorised cars.

Bestwood Country Park, NG6, Notts
Access to the northern section of Main Drive - beyond the low-slung motor vehicle barrier - is evidently restricted. The road on the right however, carries traffic to the Woodside Riding Stables. Beyond the stables the road (that by this point has become a track) leading to Lamin's Lane, is also part of the Bestwood village - Papplewick village section of the Robin Hood Way.

Track through Bestwood Country Park (1)
Open to pedestrians and horses, and also providing vehicular access to Alexandra Lodges about a quarter of a mile further along, hence the speed limit and dead end road signs (the former sign is presumably unofficial as it is in the wrong font).
