The lane to Marslands Farm, Corley This is a very tranquil and unspoilt lane. According to the OS 1:25,000 map, the lane is a public highway up to this point. The tarmac surface is unchanged past the gate though, so I wonder whether it is public highway for a few hundred yards further. I expect not many people come even this far, as no other rights of way lead on from this point.
