The end of the lane at Througham Slad Manor According to OS mapping, the public road appears to carry on another 100m or so from this point. However our country landowners would seem to annex a bit of public property by just putting up a PRIVATE sign with NO TURNING BEYOND THIS POINT to drive home the message. No change in road surface though.
I didn't take the car any further.
