Take care when crossing road into Burntstump

Nice easy walk can get muddy after war memorial

Calverton Colliery opened in 1952, and closed in 1993. It's legacy was a spoil tip covering 190ha, with unwanted coal deposits, including coal dust and other unsafe contaminants. In 1999 the Coal Authority and Local Authority developed an environmental restoration proposal, with major remediation works following.

A memorial located in Watchwood Plantation, Calverton, honours the memory of three Polish airmen who perished in a crash there. On October 13, 1940, a Polish air crew from the 300 Mosovian Squadron, who were fighting for the Allies, were returning to their UK base at RAF Swinderby. After a successful bombing mission, their damaged "Fairey Battle" aircraft came down in Calverton, resulting in the instant deaths of the three men. The memorial commemorates pilot Flight Lieutenant Jan Gebicki, rear gunner Sergeant Edward Morawa, and wireless operator Sergeant Tadeusz Egierski.

No sign of any pig. Just an overgrown pen and abandoned car. 🙆🏻‍♂️

It's a very special place to visit on the route.

Sansom Woods have great easy walking paths, criss-crossing throughout them. One of the scenic routes leads to / from Burntstump Hill and follows the edge of the wood with views out over the Nottinghamshire hills, finishing up here at the ponds, or you can extend your walk from here into Blidworth Bottoms woods.

Papplewick Pumping Station, situated in open agricultural land approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) by road from the Nottinghamshire village of Papplewick, was built by Nottingham Corporation Water Department between 1881 and 1884 to pump water from the Bunter sandstone to provide drinking water to the City of Nottingham, in England. Two beam engines, supplied with steam by six Lancashire boilers, were housed in Gothic Revival buildings. Apart from changes to the boiler grates, the equipment remained in its original form until the station was decommissioned in 1969, when it was replaced by four submersible electric pumps.
