Bridleway No.508 – Hilland Wood (Junction of Gentles Lane and Pond Road to Hurland Lane)

Updated July 2020

1
There is a finger post at the bottom of Gentles Lane leading uphill into woodland.
2
At a left-hand bend there is a private gate on the right, but the finger post points in reverse direction only (photo also in reverse direction).
3
The bridleway crosses an (often) muddy patch and bears slightly right while an unmarked Permissive Path goes left.
4
It descends with coppice wood on the left ...
5
... then rises to a sharp left-hand turn marked by a finger post (see photo) at the large tree.
[Another well-used path carries straight on at this point, but it is neither a public right of way nor a permissive path.]
6
The bridleway then follows the boundary of Headley Grange on the right to meet Hurland Lane. (photo, in reverse direction). Here there is a finger post for both this bridleway and FP509 which begins at the same place.
