This is the point at which the Link Trail joins the Skegby Trail. To the left the Skegby trail heads toward Pleasley and to the right the trail heads toward Skegby and then on toward Sutton-in-Ashfield.
When these trails were working railways the area immediately ahead was known as Skegby Junction. Some 250m along the trail to the right there is a
SK4961 : Bridge over the Skegby Trail.
