Map question

[Parrot of Doom]

I want to cycle west from Cam Lane (yellow) along Sack Lane, around the north of Arley Hall along Back Lane, and onto Arley Road. I've emailed the hall and asked if its ok but I get the impression that they don't really understand the legal situation either.

(click the bit at the top next to the + and - icons, and choose "OS map")

Can anyone proficient in mapreading tell me if I'm entitled to cycle around there? It isn't a big deal but its always nice to have traffic-free options. The roads around there are very quiet and smooth anyway.

Yes, as far as 'entitled' goes anyway

ETA - a key http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/educatio... to the bing OS map

ETFA - long green dashes indicated public bridleway (which is a public right of way) this is pretty much your whole route around the hall.

Sack lane is OK for the first bit as the longer dashed lines are bridleway, it becomes a footpath ( the shorter dashed line) a third of the way along so you shouldn't really cycle along it unless it is also a road track (what it looks like). You can certainly follow the bridlepath north past "the ashes" though and join 'back lane' (another bridlepath OK for cycling) all the way to arley road.

The big diamonds along the route are just showing it's a national trail. Which is just a name.


So yes.
