Teversal Trail

Highlight • Trail

A former Great Northern Railway line from the late 1800s, the Teversal Trail is now a network of superb gravel tracks that run for miles and link up much of North Notts with the old colliery railway stations. Expect abandoned platforms on the edge of the trail and impressive railway bridges that keep you away from the traffic below. The railways here were mainly used for transporting coal and goods and while coal pits have existed here since the 1600s it wasn't until the railways arrived in the mid-late 1800s that the industry really got serious. Passenger transport died off a few decades into the 1900s.

Slogby Track

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The "Leen Valley Extension", the former Sutton to Pleasley railway track, was run by LNER. It was opened in November 1901, and closed permanently in May 1968.
It has now been converted into a bridleway known as the "Skegby Trail".

Pleasley Pit Country Park

Highlight • Natural

Pleasley Pit Country Park is a nature reserve and historical site located on the Derbyshire-Nottinghamshire border. It was once the site of Pleasley Colliery, a coal mine that operated from the mid-19th century until it closed in 1983. The park is home to a café, lake and pleasant walking trails.

Teversal Trail Old Railway Bridge

Highlight • Cycleway

The railways here finally closed in 1978, since then nature has taken over and more recently the tracks have been turned into trails. The Teversal Trail that crosses this old bridge is a circular route following these old lines along the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border.
