Not sure if I am right on this but, have a feeling the old "pathway entrance" just a bit higher up than where Owl Hall is, is something to do with the old "Leemings Path".

I seem to remember that if you went up Arden Hall Lane you could turn off just before Owl Hall to go over Leemings Pad as we called it. The path was quite wide, possibly a bridle way. I remember the high wall of Owl Hall which we had a nosy over, and no, we didn't steal the crab apples!
If you continued along the path it took you along the bottom of a large field. Near the end of the path there was a barn or building on your left and a large gate accross the path which eventually joined the top of Sandy Lane. A well known courting spot!
