Ironworks - new housing estate being built at the site of the old Mill Road Depot. Scandalously, this will not be a low-car development.
Not suitable for cycling (at least not for a while) but there's an old footpath alongside Hawke Brook that's been used for generations to gain access from Clowne Road, to Church Road, although it's a lot less used these days than 30 years a ... [more]
Old path from Clowne Road to Church Road than runs alongside Hawke Brook, a lot more overgrown and disused than it was in the 80s!
Former Shuttlewood water treatment works. Possibly a way of forming a connection to the old Oxcroft Branch Line and then onto Seymour from the Oxcroft/Bolsover area
Site of former Shuttlewood water treatment works, all been flattened now, but the old track to the site remains, and could provide access to Mill Lane/ the former oxcroft disposal point site.
Drainage channels under Woodhouse Lane. There is/was an underpass here, it was filled in after the landscaping of the former pit tip was completed.
Track leading up towards A632 /arkwright /bridge. Not currently accessible on the bike, but could be a great alternative in time.
Clearance under bridge on busy road. There's steep banks of earth on either side of the bridge though
Bridge at busy A632 road, a good few feet of clearance under the bridge, on both sides. The bridge could be opened up and used as part of a cycle trail.
Bridge on A632 at Arkwright, the bridge which replaced an old railway bridge, was constructed during the opencasting of the area and relocation of the village, allowing access under the road. It was filled in underneath after the opencastin ... [more]
Path heading towards Poolsbrook from Seymour / Netherthorpe, can get quite muddy other side of gate, but there's a better way by going left immediately after the ballast and staying in front of the fence until access opens up a little furth ... [more]

Recently cleared old public footpath providing access from Bolsover branch line to Seymour Link Road
According to recent ordnance survey maps there is a footpath crossing over the river Doe Lea here, but it looks like it's there hasn't been any access across here for some time, can see some evidence that a bridge was here...
Taken from Dingle Lane, the course of the old railway line is just the other side of the first line of trees
Looking down Dingle Lane towards the old railway bridge which could form a useful cycle path from Calow to Spital/Chesterfield
Path through the trees to Spital from Hady, narrow in places but flat land and there's scope for a wider quite direct path to be created without losing many well established trees.
Path from Hady to Spital, needs a little clearance in places but otherwise a generally flat route, many of the trees can be avoided if a slightly different and maybe more direct route is chosen
Path from Hady Lane to Spital through trees, quite flat and direct, albeit restricted in places for cycling currently.
To the left, access down onto Spital Lane. The path on the right leads up to Alexandra Road East but is very steep and has steps.
Old stone and concrete topped railway bridge over River Doe Lea, which was part of Ramcroft branch line, leading to the colliery, in the distance is an M1 underpass for farm use that also is the course of a footpath through the fields from ... [more]
Old railway line looking towards Syday Lane, impassable due to overgrown vegetation, mound of earth, and steep bank at side of road
Old railway line, from here towards Syday Lane the old line is currently virtually impassable even on foot, there is evidence people walk up the side of the field on the left, or along the tops of the banks of the railway, but it's a bit re ... [more]
Private property on old railway line between Syday Lane and Spinkhill tunnel making the route impassable.
route of old coal tramway for Oxcroft Colliery, a bridge went over the road here towards the Oxcroft branch line
Looking towards Mill Lane, on land the used to be part of Oxcroft Colliery, the land is blocked off by a big heap of earth, stone, with additional fly tipping too.
Part of old Oxcroft Colliery site, used to be a path through here before the footpath was redirected down the side of the field.
