Nice little ground, some dogs were poisoned with drugs here in early 2025 though.

This is a beautiful paved section of path that borders the River Trent just outside Burton Joyce. It has nice uninterrupted views down to the river at this point and joins up with Trent Lane.

This is the main shopping street in Arnold. There is a one way system and bus stops on sides of the access road. I had to slow down and go onto the paths to get to the bottom of the shops area

The main road is a busy road, but the pathways on the road edges are quite wide and offer good safety. There are cars pulling out of side rods regular and you have to ride behind them to cross by
