Parish Walks map, Bradenham One set of an increasing number of permissive paths - not rights-of-way but paths designated by the landowner as available for public use. The sign not only maps the routes but also describes Pooley's Lane (a traditional green lane, probably used for driving sheep to the Grazing Grounds), and old hedges which include pollards, often used as parish boundary markers.
