This private road and public bridleway gives a gentle climb from the Avon valley on to the Arden plateau. Never named on maps it was probably the route from Warwick Castle, a continuation of Cape Road as a track into its northern deer park, now shown on maps as Wedgnock Old Park. Today it leads to Prospect Farm, Deer Park Farm and Bulloak Farm. To the east a rifle range is first shown on a map of 1905, perhaps from the time of the Boer War.
