The lane from Balwest This well-surfaced lane is classified as a footpath. It seems obvious that this was the lane serving the quarries on Tregonning Hill and should, at the least, be a bridleway. Cornwall Council have now (2021) raised a Definitive Map Modification Order (DMMO) to change its status.
