Hi, This is the Old Warminster Road (Chitterne 15). Because of 4WD vehicles driving in circles to play in this pond the road became impassable and traffic started using the headland of the adjoining field. That headland had not been ploughed in order to provide nesting opportunities for ground nesting birds and winter seeds for food. It had to be ploughed to remove the ruts ... The Rights of Way Section has repaired this section of byway and squared the trench to make it more difficult to play in. The following three links will be useful to responsible green laners: Wilts Council Definitive Map: www.wiltshire.gov.uk/communityandliving/rightsofway/publicrightsofwaymapping.htm Wilts Council Rights of Way Closures: php.wiltshire.gov.uk/row/closures/closure_search.php Salisbury Plain Green Laning Guide www.gov.uk/government/publications/salisbury-plain-green-laning Regards, Nigel
