Bridleway and former funeral procession route between Church Wilne and Breaston, the latter village having had to wait until 1824 to acquire its own church for burials. Paths which served this historical purpose also exist elsewhere in Derbyshire - for example here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1733353 between Castleton and Edale and here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/936936 between Lullington and Coton-in-the-Elms.
