Dist:0.2km<br/>One of just two farms in the village of Plumtree which are still functioning as such. Note the old ridge and furrow strips in the foreground. Oddly, both are named after trees, the other being Sycamore Farm http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2696541.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Opened in 1880 and closed in 1968 this station is on the Nottingham to Melton Mowbray line, (see [[668472]]).
