Coach Road – Restricted Byway

Coach Road

The Coach Road, which is a Restricted Byway, has been made impassable to motorised vehicles by the placement of concrete blocks (see images).

It appears this may have been done by a farmer to stop quad bikes being ridden across tilled and newly planted corn fields.

For clarity, here is the Ordnance Survey definition of a Restricted Byway:

A Restricted Byway is a public right of way that allows non‑motorised travel only. It can be used on foot, on horseback, by bicycle, or with a horse‑drawn carriage. Motorised vehicles are not permitted.

  • Horse riding
  • Cycling
  • Horse‑drawn carriage or cart
  • Mobility scooters or powered wheelchairs (classed as mobility aids)
