Old Scotland Lane

A bridleway that links both ends of Binsted Lane. The route is very old with some evidence to suggest that this was the original Roman road to Chichester. It was certainly being used as a highway by the 13th century and was still in use in 1840 when it was called Scotland Lane. Since the 20th century it has been reduced to a bridleway and seems to have been resurfaced in the last few years, I came down here in 2005 on my bike in the middle of summer and got bogged down in the mud. Pedler's Croft is to the left whilst Lower Kiln Copse is on the right, both defined by extensive woodbanks which is usually a sign of an ancient route.
