Leave the M1 at junction 29 and take the A617 towards Mansfield for about 3 mile (4.8 km), passing through Doe Lea, Bramley Vale and Glapwell before dropping downhill to a large roundabout.  The landscaped pit-tip will have been visible on your right hand side for the last 1/2 mile or so. 

 

At the roundabout take the4th exit, drive for about 120 yd (110m) and then turn Right into Pit Lane and drive up the hill. Pleasley Colliery is at the top through the wooden height-restriction gateway.
