The bright green lane heading off up the side of the hill could be mistaken for an old road but is actually the access road for a disused quarry [[[205953]]]. Older maps show the route of the old road to be the same as the present road. Continuing round the corner ahead suggests a good reason why this would not have been a through road - it stops at a cliff face!
