This very short byway is not really worth a drive: there are far better greenlanes to occupy yourself with before coming here! Starting out east from Shellwood Road, the lane is a nice wide track complete with a surface of gravel and dirt that never becomes rutted. The hedgerows that line the lane never encroach and threaten the paintwork either. It's pretty easy going, even for a Freelander.

Passing through fields to the north and Tweed Copse to the south, the lane ends as abruptly as it began, on tarmac in a housing estate, just after a bridleway leaves to the south. There's not much else to say!
