Bisley Path Stones

---

The series of "stones" along a known turnpike route abandoned in the 19ᵗʰC. Part of it ran through Cirencester Park until that was remodelled in the same century. Some of that route survives as "Shepherds Ride" in the Park. Click an image for the Geograph page for the particular stone.

In Pinbury Park on the boundary with Hen Wood. There is "V" engraved. It measures 5 miles to Cirencester Town Hall via Park Corner and the Park.

|
Tunley Lane Milestone. The engraving puts Cirencester VII miles away which would indicate a different route dating from the abandonment of the turnpike past the stone above, which is 1 mile distant.

|
Water Lane, engraving difficult to see due to thick branches, but is at an integer mile on the original route.

| : Old Milestone by George Street, Bisley by Roadside Relics
George St, Bisley, with a plate, probably a later erection.

|
Bisley Rd, Bisley much weathered and 1 mile from Water Lane indicating an early MS.

|
Catswood Lane milestone is 1 mile from George Street Bisley and probably dates from a later erection.

|
Reddings Wood, on a path that locals refer to as Charles Way, referencing the supposed escape route of King Charles' II. The Stone is 1½ miles from the Bisley Road stone.

|
In the property wall above a deep set track that would have been the continuation of Greenhouse Lane, near Bulls Cross. The stone is 1 mile from the crossroads in the centre of Painswick and ½ mile from the Charles' Way stone.
