- Possible closure: OpenStreetMap records this section as closed to motor vehicles (motor_vehicle=no), with the mapper's note "Formerly a BOAT subject to a TRO banning motor vehicles and horse-drawn vehicles. Now downgraded to Bridleway.". We haven't read the order, so check with the council and the signs before riding.
