Looking up Granny Weavings Lane
Standing in Tramway Road looking up Granny Weavings Lane (with Grindles Lane running to the left this side of the hedge). Granny Weavings Lane gets steeper yet and at the top forms the link to the two, otherwise disconnected, portions of Bucskhaft Road ... one of the few roads that is metalled, becomes a hand-railed footpath and then re-invents itself as a rough tarmac/gravel single track road. You will see that it is 'No Cycling' down this somewhat steep footpath.

Granny Weavings Lane - Ruspidge
Between the two power poles is the uphill unadopted footpath known as Granny Weavings Lane. It link Tramway at the bottom with Buckshaft about 150 yards higher up the slope. Somewhat uniquely the footpath cuts into Buckshaft (which is shaped like a horizontal Z) and replaces the road surface with this one and a half metre wide hand-railed footpath. You cannot drive from one end of Buckshaft to the other because of the 'footpath' section in the middle !

Down Granny Weaving's Lane, Ruspidge, Forest of Dean
Granny Weaving's Lane was really important to the community at the top of the hill as it linked them, in days gone by, to Eastern United Colliery,the chapel on Ruspidge road, the village shop and to the three public houses that served the community. Nowadays the only survivors are two of the public houses.
