Deuturs Plantation

Bridleway past Pear Tree Farm The bridleway is up to 15 metres wide between long-established hedge banks and ditches, and must be ancient in origin, probably an old cart road. Pear Tree Farm, on the south side of the track, is quite recent, but Maltmayes, at the eastern end, is C14 in origin, and the track surely is much older still. Fortunately, this western end is no longer used by vehicles, perhaps because the junction with the Bognor Road (A29) is less than satisfactory (and distinctly hazardous if approaching from the opposite direction).
