Track from West Milford Farm towards Raw Lane

A small sign set back behind a barrier off the B1223, Raw Lane has a rare message - especially in an area where "Trespassers will be Prosecuted" signs proliferate. From the Grimston Estate, this track is not a right of way - but the landowners are happy to allow walkers to use it. This gives traffic free access to Towton.
