No right of way! According to the 1:25000 OS map, this footpath is not a right of way of any kind. However, there is ample evidence of use by walkers and cyclists, and even a few hoof-marks. This photograph is taken looking eastwards from the point where it intersects a public bridleway running north-south.

The Grasshopper, Limpsfield, Surrey We are on the A25, and have crossed the border into Surrey here - by about 300 yards - to be confronted by this enormous road house. Hardly the place to enjoy a contemplative pint, it no doubt serves some sections of the community.

A bridleway no more, Limpsfield, Surrey A forlorn wooden sign at the end of this heavily overgrown track off the A25 still reads 'public bridleway', but in fact bridleway rights here were extinguished many years ago, and this track cannot have seen a horse in the last 30 years.
