Seasonal byway restrictions

Due to persisting wet ground conditions and to protect them from damage, the byways listed below remain closed to four-wheeled vehicles (except for access, horse drawn vehicles, motorcycles and quadricycles). 

The following byways are subject to seasonal restrictions between 1st October and 31st March each year, in order to protect their surfaces from damage over the winter months, and preserve both the character and the amenity for other users.

Byways closed to vehicles (excluding motor and pedal cycles, quadricycles and horse drawn vehicles)
