A little naughty as the western end is technically a footpath, but judging by the tyre tracks and horseshoe prints I wasn't the first to bend the rules! The eastern end is a tarmac lane, the western end a great gravel track. In between is a section of dirt and grass track that was a bit sloppy in places... even in June! This part could be a nightmare in winter (or a dream depending on your perversions), but it is very pretty.

Wonderful section of permissive path on the Badminton estate, keep your eye out for a left turn into 7 Mile Plantation bridleway, or stay right for Roaches Lane. Expect horse riders and dog walkers a-plenty and don't forget to be nice and say 'Hi'!
