Hasfield - the disappearing road

This road in Hasfield, Gloucestershire is almost not there at all. It's shown on many maps as being an ordinary (if narrow) country lane. As you can see, "Unsuitable for motors" is a bit of an understatement although you might get a motorbike along it.



However, the picture below by Ian S in 2016 shows a much wider carriageway which you could get a smaller car down.


The reasons for this decay probably include:

  • The road isn't a route between two large population centres
  • Apart from a few farm buildings at the far end, no one "needs" to drive along it to access a building or gateway

It does have nice views to Corse Grove though so it's well worth the walk
