Not for llamas, or brides

I usually walk home from town along this Old Way.

You can see from the edges  that it was wide enough once for a horse and cart or a flock of sheep.

It served the farms that lie between the modern main road and the secondary roads that connect the villages further up the valley.
An old neighbouor who lived near us remembered walking this way to school and back; it must have been a good six miles each day.

This route wasn't included when roads were upgraded with hard surfaces for motor vehicles and so it became a RUPP (road used as public path). That designation ceased in the late 20thC. and, like others, it became a bridleway (sometimes seen written as 'bridal way'  which always gives me the momentary vision of a woman in a white dress, veil, and floral bouquet stumbling daintily through mud,  brambles and badger pits).

Legally, you can walk and ride, or lead,  a horse along a bridleway. "These rights also extend to mules and asses but not, for example, to llamas or other animals."
(Walking with llamas is a thing now.)

No Officer, I assure you it's not a llama, just a pony with very long neck...
