Leen Valley Walk, Bestwood, Notts.
The cycle track/footpath divides here with the right-hand path going towards Bestwood Country Park and the left-hand one heading towards Bestwood Road and Mill Lakes. I believe that this was previously the track bed of part of the former Great Northern Railway Leen Valley line.

Leen Valley Walk, Bestwood, Notts.
Hucknall Road (the A611) is approximately 15-20 minutes walk ahead along this former track-bed. Bestwood Road (the B683) runs parallel, on the right, whereas farmland lines the left-hand side of the path behind the trees.

Bestwood Country Park, Notts.
An access point leading to the western side of Bestwood Country Park from a section of the Leen Valley Walk. This location is 5-10 minutes away from the eastern end of Mill Lane, to the left, and 10-15 minutes away from Hucknall Road (the A611) by continuing to the right.

Former track of the Great Northern Leen Valley Line
The Great Northern Railway built this line to carry coal from the Leen Valley pits to its huge marshalling yards at Colwick, east of Nottingham. It opened in 1881, lost its passenger service in 1931 and closed completely in 1964. From Bulwell Forest to Bestwood it ran largely on a high embankment parallel to the road - now a traffic-free cycle route shaded by the trees and bushes which have grown tall since closure.
