Description

The old route of the road is marked by a little copse with one small oak pollard in it, apart from this it has been totally ploughed out. The road was moved in 1812 by Sir Thomas Dyke Acland (Xth barnet) as it was frequently impassable because of floods. Its continuation in the Front Park can still be seen (site no. 107040).
