Worth a visit

But it's a great route on a bike. Rideable all year if you don't mind mud

The tree that was felled had been the village Christmas tree with lights etc for years, and this seemed a good way to commemorate both it and the mining in the area. Lots of quiet lanes round about and the old Fosse Way can be found nearby.

Beware of the Sheep!!!

Looks like an old railway line but a lovely stretch

The Fosse Way is a Roman road in England that runs from the southwest to the northeast, connecting the cities of Exeter in the southwest to Lincoln in the northeast. It is one of the major Roman roads in Britain, and its name is believed to be derived from the Latin "Via Fossa," meaning "dug road" or "ditch road." This straight track is part of the famous Roman Road.

Fosse Meadows is a diverse natural haven, predominantly characterised by broadleaf woodlands. There's an ample network of wide paths, a bird hide and open grassy spaces for picnics. Fosse Meadows also features a permanent orienteering course.

After the tree was felled at Stoney Stanton, the parish council decided to do something with the remaining trunk. After consulting with residents in the area, it was decided that a sculpture of a quarryman would be made out of the trunk.
