Bridleway on Nore Hanger Creek Copse is to the right of the path. 

The bridleway, initially, is easy walking; however, on the far side of the hill, the centre of the path appears to have been excavated to enable better drainage. As the channel is well over two feet deep, and not overly wide, I would have thought that riding a horse might be 'interesting'.
