Beckside Road Road it most certainly isn't, nor even at this point the track that the Ordnance Survey describes it as being. But it is a perfectly serviceable footpath though once the oilseed rape has grown a bit more a machete might come in useful at some points!

Beckside Road The Ordnance Survey describes this as a track which is correct but closer to Yapham it becomes no more than a path.

Bank Holiday outing I'm out walking and these two are their owner are out riding.
The core of Bishop Wilton is a wide village green through which runs a beck. There is a road on either side of the green and a number of cross-links of which these horses are on one.

Footpath at Meltonby Cuts across this field of oilseed rape. The path has not been maintained. The choice is either round the edge of the field or along the road. Distance-wise there is nothing in it. In terms of effort the road is the easier option.
