Dist:0.1km<br/>This is where a former 3 ft. gauge ironstone railway crossed Six Hills Lane near Wartnaby. The rails crossed the road from the drive on the left to the gate on the right. Ore was excavated from the fields on the right, and taken by tramway to Old Dalby station for onward transport to steel works. The system closed about 1930.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Slate headstones, often Swithland slate, are common in this area. The best examples from the 18th century have rhyming epitaphs. The winged face depicts the soul rising to heaven, and is a 'Belvoir Angel' (The Vale of Belvoir being a few miles to the north)

Dist:0.8km<br/>This is a pretty thing in a pretty setting. Built of the Jurassic ironstone common in the area, and in fair condition considering this stone's poor weathering properties. Inside, some original wall decorations in the arches, and a lively-written guide book. The 'Belvoir Angels' are on the small headstones near the seat [[212179]].
