Former Railway, near Sothall
There was once a tangle of railways through this part of the Rother Valley. This was the Great Central line between Nottingham and Sheffield; the parallel Midland line remains as an important freight route between Chesterfield and Rotherham. This section now forms part of the Trans-Pennine trail.

Blackthorn and dog poo bin
The blackthorn is in flower unseasonably early (there was hawthorn in leaf nearby) owing to an exceptionally mild winter (so far!).
