In fact the signpost refers to it as a Bridle Road and is the only one that I have noticed in this area with this wording.

This bridleway follows the course of a former colliery railway linking Cossall mine with the mines in the Strelley area.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Part of Babbington House Farm can be seen across the fields. The network of paths and tracks in this area is well used by ramblers and riders.

Dist:0.2km<br/>On the lane from Awsworth to Babbington Village. This lane formerly carried a colliery railway to the mines in the area.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking up The Lane towards the centre of the village with a fine old signpost on the right. The main road is no longer the A6096 which now bypasses the village.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The main road is simply 'The Lane'. Although the signpost still refers to it as the A6096, this now bypasses the village.

Dist:0.4km<br/>An interesting use of a standard sign, normally meant for road traffic, but obviously pertinent. The cattle here were tucking into a large mound of carrots.
