Edgeworth

The end of the lane at Througham Slad Manor According to OS mapping, the public road appears to carry on another 100m or so from this point. However our country landowners would seem to annex a bit of public property by just putting up a PRIVATE sign with NO TURNING BEYOND THIS POINT to drive home the message. No change in road surface though. I didn't take the car any further.

"Stone", bridleway, near Pinbury Park Sometimes referred to the "Bisley Path", the ancient bridleway runs between the junction of Watery Lane, Dane Lane and Miserden Rd as far as the junction of Jackbarrow Rd and Overly Rd. There is a carved "V" on the path-facing face. And it is 5 miles from Cirencester along routes used in 1811/2. Old maps label it as "stone". The bridleway is, for some of its way, the boundary between Bisley with Lypiatt (Stroud) and Edgeworth (Cotswolds). Milestone Society National ID: GL_CIBI06
