Dist:0.2km<br/>This is the continuation of the field seen here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2696432 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2696425. It is currently used for pasturing horses.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This is the access to the northernmost of the three adjacent farms with the same name.

Dist:0.3km<br/>In practice this would have belonged to the parish of Plumtree. The ridge and furrow markings are still prominent. In the distance is Hoe Hill.

Dist:0.3km<br/>In practice this would have belonged to the parish of Plumtree. Enclosure took place as late as the early 19th century and the ridge and furrow markings are still prominent.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The footpath runs on its own bank or ridge, at right angles to the main ridge and furrow pattern on either side. This was probably the access track to the fields, and the reason for it being a right of way to this day.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Closed for 3 weeks for assessment of the bridge deck, which is in poor condition, the closure has been extended for a further 3 weeks. My guess is it will be considerably longer before it reopens.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The start of a short footpath cutting off the angle to Cotgrave Road.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Crossing the Polser Brook which runs down to the River Trent near Holme Pierrepont.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The scrub woodland conceals a substantial earth dam/embankment, up to at least 5 metres high and around 150 metres long. It is shown in gothic script on OS maps, and was the dam to the mill pond of the medieval mill - a very substantial work for the period. It was clearly disused long before the earliest available OS maps of the 1880s were surveyed.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Currently cut short by closure of a footbridge http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2696452. The fences are relatively recent, as they do not appear on satellite images.

Dist:0.5km<br/>On Cotgrave Road at the edge of Normanton. It takes its name from the hill in the background.

Dist:0.5km<br/>At the point where it crosses the Polser Brook. Here it marks the boundary between Tollerton and Normanton parishes.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This follows the line of an established footpath to Plumtree, but has been swallowed up in suburban development.
