Even without the damage to the pillar, observation would have been difficult without serious tree removal. From here the distant blue horizon visible through the trees is somewhere out towards Breedon Hill [[SK4023]]

Dist:0.1km<br/>Considerable force must have been used to knock the pillar down, but it does give an insight into the construction of a pillar, with the embedded brass datum stud now exposed to view

Dist:0.1km<br/>Clearly conceived as a major orbital road, with dedicated service roads, cycleways and footways on both sides of the carriageway. It is still essentially an outer ring road for Nottingham.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Attractive modern gateway off Landcroft Crescent into this small Nature Reserve in the middle of urban development.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Looking down from the former Padstow School grounds.

Dist:0.2km<br/>One of a number of small nature reserves within the extensive housing estates of north Nottingham. http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=3339

Dist:0.2km<br/>Early post war development to the east of Bestwood Estate
