This is a curious route which begins at the top end of Tunstall village and emerges on the minor road by Hornby Castle. For most of the way the surface is tarmac, with different access rights along the way. This section is bridleway, but some 200m further on where the bridleway turns sharp right, the continuing lane bears a sign saying 'No public right of way', which is clearly wrong as both the OS and local authority maps show otherwise. One suspects that the whole route is an ancient one linking Tunstall with Hornby.
