BRIDLEWAY CLOSED: Apologies for any inconvenience
Out on my cyclocross bike in the Peak today, came across this sign. I'm a fairly meek and mild mannered person, so I just found an alternative route. When I came at the bridleway from the other end, same sign. The only other couple of times I've come across a 'Bridleway closed' sign, there's been an accompanying council explanation notice, but not here. A gent emerged from a farm building at one end, and I asked him why it was closed; he replied that there was 'filming' going on there, for about a month. I'll email Derbyshire Council, but I wondered if anyone had any thoughts? Seems a bit like someone's pulling a fast one to me!

Great stuff. Maybe you could contact FlightFreeUK and take a lifetime pledge as a company. I'm pretty sure the founder cycles too

Looks more like it is designed to keep the bike thieves in rather than out. That might in fact be a better solution.

Definitely contact the council- maybe play it as "somebody has blocked the bridleway " and push it onto them to investigate.
i imagine a local landowner is indeed pulling a fast one.
Good suggestion - I've reported it as an 'obstruction' to Derbyshire Council.
I'd ignore it ! With no TRO (or whatever they call it) signed how can they even stop walkers?
Barriers or guards to monitor the area for unauthorised access.
On a public bridleway ?
