An old county road. Overgrown and rutted where it starts at Birchen Tree Cross (and very easy to miss). Where the hedges are cut back the lane is much easier to ride. It then leads to a farm lane before re-joining tarmac.

I rode this section West to East - much easier to find, following on from the farm track. Very muddy after rain and the upper section is steep, narrow and very deeply rutted.
