Wolvens Lane Byway between Coldharbour and Wotton, seen here at its Wotton end. Although it is a "BOAT" (Byway open to all traffic), the sign refers to a temporary closure to four wheel drive vehicles, to avoid damage to recent repairs, and a consultation is currently under way to make the closure permanent.

Private Sign off a public path in the Tilling Bourne valley. The top one warns that this is private land, and below it is one warning of adders in the area. It did strike me, though, that if they are saying that the public shouldn't be entering the land in the first place, why the need to alert them to the presence of adders?
