Bridleway alongside an oak wood, Surrey This lane is the western limb of a tangle of bridleways that straggle across country for many miles north and east of the village of Outwood.  This western section probably sees less use by riders than the main network, as it debouches onto the rather busy Outwood Lane, a motor road where, sadly, not all drivers show proper courtesy to equestrians.
