"Stone", bridleway,  near Pinbury Park Sometimes referred to the "Bisley Path", the ancient bridleway runs between the junction of Watery Lane, Dane Lane and Miserden Rd as far as the junction of Jackbarrow Rd and Overly Rd. There is a carved "V" on the path-facing face. And it is 5 miles from Cirencester along routes used in 1811/2. Old maps label it as "stone". The bridleway is, for some of its way, the boundary between Bisley with Lypiatt (Stroud) and Edgeworth (Cotswolds).
