RFC: ROW Issue, Peak District

Aug 27, 2003 1 Replies

Calling all ROW people in the know.



I have known about a road in the Peak District for about 3 years now that I have driven about once each year with no issues but I wonder if anyone can confirm it is still a Vehicular ROW. I was told about by a number of different sources but wanted a 2nd opinion.



The road is Soles Hollow near Rushley and starts at grid ref: SK104518 and heads NNW. If you look at it on multimap its marked as a footpath (Not the ORPA to its East) and goes down hill to the manifold valley. Its very overgrown and not one for the feint hearted. I know that it cannot be driven N-S as there is a flying motor bike at the end of the manifold valley at SK100542 but there is nothing at the southen end.



Anyone got any info b4 I call the council and get fobbed off?



Also, if you look at it on Multimap rather than an Explorer Peak District Map there is an ORPA to its east - does anyone know about it?



Thanks for your help,


Simon


SG: I've looked this up on 4 separate maps (of various vintages) and they all show it as a footpath. I wouldn't admit to the council that you have driven it.

SG: This doesn't show up on my Explorer or Landranger series maps but is shown on Memory Map. Don't have any other info though.

Try your local GLASS representative for more information ... they're usually very helpful.
