TQ1435 : Bridleway past Pear Tree Farm

taken 2 years ago, near to Winterfold, West Sussex, England

Bridleway past Pear Tree Farm
Bridleway past Pear Tree Farm
The bridleway is up to 15 metres wide between long-established hedge banks and ditches, and must be ancient in origin, probably an old cart road. Pear Tree Farm, on the south side of the track, is quite recent, but Maltmayes, at the eastern end, is C14 in origin, and the track surely is much older still. Fortunately, this western end is no longer used by vehicles, perhaps because the junction with the Bognor Road (A29) is less than satisfactory (and distinctly hazardous if approaching from the opposite direction).
A29 Road

The A29 runs for 34 miles from the A24 at Capel, south of Dorking, through Billingshurst and Pulborough, crossing the South Downs at Bury Hill and passing Fontwell Park Racecourse before terminating on the B2166 on Bognor Regis sea front.
From Capel to Hardham, south of Pulborough, the road largely follows the path of the old Roman road, Stane Street.
