Just by a slight bend in the road beyond Coryton Mill, this lane takes off straight up the contours. The walls are vertically cut slate, and the floor is largely bedrock. I could find no information about it at all. There is a sign at each end saying "Unsuitable for motors". There is evidence that not everybody accepts the instruction.
