I see that on the old maps - on some it looks like a nice relatively straight footpath and on others something more substantial. Probably less than a mile walk. Didn't know that was there. I walked down the Red Row 'stub end' of that road a few weeks ago when doing some leaflets. It didn't click that it heads directly to Bullocks Hall. (or did - all gone now)
