High Barns Farm This road looks very welcoming and has no signs to the contrary but as we neared the farm buildings we were stopped and told that it was a private road and it was against the law for us to continue along the road through the farm. No gates, no signs, no nothing! A very big farm with several houses and cottages and a steady stream of traffic along the road.
