text: The status of this road seems unclear. I have just cycled down it and have these observations:
  - it is marked as private at both ends but there are no gates or anything to physically prevent access 
  - has no council street furniture (signs, lamps)
  - large parts of it are unsurfaced, and yet....
  - both TomTom and Google will route you down it unless you choose to avoid unpaved roads.
  Personally, I wouldn’t want to be routed down it in my car. If it’s permitted to cycle down it (which it might not be), it makes a convenient short cut for a bike that can handle mud and ruts.
