Disputed footpath Marked as a footpath on older OS maps but not on more recent ones. Nonetheless it is waymarked from the western end and stiles are in place. However it is little used (four stiles in a very short distance is not encouraging) and the landowner is seeking to have it formally closed. An alternative permissive path a little to the north is available.
