Dark Lane, looking south A rather splendid piece of narrow bridleway along an old lane; it degrades further south into a footpath, and becomes waterlogged due to poor drainage - I reached the other end of the section referred to in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2102582">SK0005 : Cadman's Lane, alternative route</a>, and can confirm that it's a running stream. Take wellies, or a horse.
