The original lane that linked Graveleye Lane with the early 19th century allotment colony later known as America. This section from the former down to The Hollow is now a bridleway. To the right are the outbuildings of Graveleye House built in 1826 for William Allen, the founder of America which was designed to enable the poor to become self sufficient through their allotments.
