Writers join locals in protest against 'neglect' of medieval Cowpasture Lane
Robert Macfarlane among those protesting against Network Rail's 'inattention' to Suffolk lane renowned for its beauty.
Writers including Robert Macfarlane have joined local people protesting against Network Rail's "neglect and inattention" after a medieval green lane renowned for its beauty and wildlife was closed to walkers.
Cowpasture Lane in Mellis, Suffolk, was partly destroyed in 1981 by a farmer who chopped down the trees lining the medieval drovers' road but it was saved from obliteration by the writer Roger Deakin, who successfully battled to preserve it in the high court.
The green lane, which is renowned for its bats, owls, orchids and ancient coppiced trees, has been closed for a year by the county council because Network Rail has declared a malfunctioning pedestrian level crossing where the lane meets the London to Norwich railway line to be unsafe.
It means that ramblers, horse riders and tourists walking from Mellis Common who visit the lane because of its association with Deakin - who died in 2006 and whose former farm runs alongside its boundary - can only use a short stretch of the public right of way before having to turn back.
The controversial temporary closure of Byway 13 in Mellis looks set to continue for another six months - causing outrage with the local community and walkers. A new notice is on display
