Beautiful place

New Bolsover model village is a village adjoining the town of Bolsover in Derbyshire. The pit village was begun in 1891 by the Bolsover Mining Company. It is a model village built by philanthropic colliery owners which was to benefit and improve the lives of workers at Bolsover Colliery. The architects for the village were Arthur Brewill and Basil Baily of Nottingham. The village had a school and a Cooperative store. On the edge of the village were allotments, pig sties and the village cricket pitch. The village had no public houses, but there was an institute that would serve workers no more than three glasses of beer a day. The colliery company employed a policeman and anti-social behavior could result in fines or dismissal.

Remains of stone tunnel vault with a coped gable. The conduit house is one of four along the escarpment which brought water to Bolsover Castle.

The church is dedicated to Saint Mary, the mother of Jesus and to the Roman Saint Laurence who tradition says was martyred by being roasted alive on a gridiron. The church is a Grade II listed building. Although it was gutted by fire in 1897, rebuilt in 1898 and damaged again by fire in 1960, many important features were preserved including Saxon artifacts, the 12th century Norman Tower, 17th century Crypt and Cavendish Chapel (with 18th and 19th century additions), and Victorian developments including the fine ‘Christ the King’ east window, dedicated to the memory of Lady Augusta Cavendish-Bentinck, the last Baroness of Bolsover.

Bolsover Branchline looks lovely on the map, Northbound back to Poolsbrook Country Park. Don't be fooled, after crossing Station Road it becomes very overgrown until it peters out & you run in to the earthworks and further huge development of the Markham Vale commercial area at J29a of the M1, South East of Duckmanton. We can only hope that the developers reinstate something to link up with the other cycleways.

Link between Bramley Vale & Carr Vale, also links to Pleasley Pit Park via the Lodge Plantation & Rowthorne Trail.

Built on the former Bolsover Branch Line this greenway currently connects Bramley Vale (with it's nature reserve and MTB trail) to Bolsover and the Carr Vale nature reserve, however there are hopes to officially extend it out to Poolsbrook Country Park in the future

A beautiful lap, which is already partly ruined.
