Bridleway in Blenheim

Exactly that – the long straight is a footpath (no cycling), but the hill down to the gate by the Black Prince is a bridleway (cycling allowed).

Blenheim are doing some interesting work with a ‘cluster’ of local villages that might in due course lead to some more safe, off-road cycle routes across their estate.

It appears from the OS map that as a public right of way this is only a footpath from the gate until the point where it takes  angle turn to the left. It then becomes a bridleway past the end of the lake to the green gate.

Can anyone tell me if the main road in Blenheim from the big gate just before you get to the Duke of Marlborough coming from Charlbury, through to the “ green gate” in Woodstock itself…is that a bridleway? Signs say No cycling but as I understand the Countryside Act 1968, you can walk/ride a horse/cycle along a bridleway. Any enlightenment appreciated!
