Footpath to Chesterfield Road
The path cuts a corner across a field from the A6175 Williamthorpe Road. The land use is very mixed around here, with former mining and industrial villages and farmland. Some former industrial areas have been developed as industrial and business parks, other areas have been landscaped into nature reserves with trails.

Factory in an industrial park at Holmewood, near Chesterfield. The track below is the Five Pits Trail.
The Five Pits Trail is on the line of former railway tracks,approximately 5.5-mile long,linking Grassmoor to Tibshelf. The Trail can be extended to 7.5 miles (12.1 km) by continuing along the route to Williamthorpe Ponds and Holmewood. Derbyshire County Council created the Five Pits Trail in 1989, following the route of the former Great Central Railway which served the five main coal mines of Grassmoor, Williamthorpe, Holmewood, Pilsley and Tibshelf.

Signs and flag by Chesterfield Road
Drawing attention to the availability of poultry for sale. The board says "Pullets - POL". "POL" apparently stands for "point of lay". The flag certainly works in attracting notice.

This south-westerly facing photograph is of the Five Pits Trail and is looking in the direction of Wolfie Pond from which a number of routes are possible, including, as the signage suggests the trail to Grassmoor.
At this point the trail is following the route of the Midland Railway's Williamthorpe Colliery Branch line.
- - -
The Williamthorpe Colliery was serviced by one branch line that was operated by two different railway companies. An OS map surveyed in 1914 and published in 1921 shows that this section of the line was operated by the Midland Railway. However, some 120m behind the viewpoint the line passed under Chesterfield Road at which point ownership changed to the Great Central Railway.
Continuing westward the Midland Railway's Williamthorpe Colliery Branch line had a junction with its Pilsley Extension line in an area now known as Wolfie Pond.
