It would appear that certain Green Lanes in the Symondsbury/Chideock area are the subject of a closure notice dated 16 July 2009.
In particular:-
Hell Lane from Quarry Cross,
North Lane from Quarry Cross,
Shutes Lane from Quarry Cross,
Quarr Lane from Quarry Cross, Symondsbury/Chideock
20 July 2009 for 18 months There are no suitable alternative routes, access for residents & bona fida visitors available at all times.
Unsafe condition of roads Western Area Highways 01305 251000
It would appear after talking to the Police that the residents are plagued with 4x4's. These unknown 4x4 people also removed the closure notices previously placed at the lane entrance. Hence I was cautioned by the Police by letter.
I have research the dorsetforyou website and found the following link that may assist in future:-

I have also sent an e-mail to the senior rights of way officer at County Hall seeking clarification of the 'Definitive Map'. Unfortunately it is not available online.
I will keep you posted of response in due course.
