Five Pits Trail

The approximately 5.5-mile-long (8.9 km) trail links Grassmoor to Tibshelf.

The Trail can be extended to 7.5 miles (12.1 km) by continuing along the route to Williamthorpe Ponds and Holmewood.

Derbyshire County Council created the Five Pits Trail in 1989, following the route of the former Great Central Railway which served the five main coal mines of Grassmoor, Williamthorpe, Holmewood, Pilsley and Tibshelf.

This mile commemorates local runner Tom Hulatt who took place in the race that created the first four-minute mile and who finished third behind Chris Chataway.
