About 60m long cuts between some houses, down a bit of aggregate and finishes with some slab steps. Unfortunately right onto to the road.

The signs always said footpath - new ones now say its a bridleway - never rode it before just because it looked like it went through someones yard. Not resurfaced looks same as it always did. Not really worth riding up but adds a bit more fun if you ride down the lane nr to Beardwood farm.

That's been a bridleway as far as I am aware for years. I remember Gaz (Granny Ring on here) from what was then the John Hayles Bike Shop Club going over the bars on it and that cycling club has been gone a long time.
