Geocache Description:

A tranquil spot between Awsworth and Kimberley on the old Great Northern line. Enjoy a short walk, with railway themed sculptures along the way. Please take a pen as i forgot to drop a pencil in.

If you want to park Kimberley end there is a small (2 car) layby further up Chuch Hill on the left just past the path access point which is very easy to spot!

Do not park on the Church Hill next to the path entry point, it's too narrow and will cause problems for others. Alternatively, park in Kimberley town or near the Gate Inn, Awsworth to combine with GN 1.

This can be done in conjunction with GN 1 - Awsworth Junction if you use the pedestrian underpass under the A610 just north of where it bisects the railway path.

To do this here's some additional info:

To access the tunnel from this path, assuming you are walking from Kimberley, walk to the end of the embankent where there is a path off to the left just before the end and one at the end, you can take either but the left one is more direct. At the bottom of the steep steps with the A610 embankment in front of you, bear left and follow the embankment until you reach the tunnel. Go through this. The tunnel is adjacent to a Westbound layby on the A610 and with only a small fence between the two, The bottom end of the layby has an access path back onto the GN that will take you to GN1. Alternatively there are footpaths signposted that should get you back on 'track'.
