Local access and parking details
That is a location-specific restriction, not a general rural-road rule. Drivers who navigate directly to the tree-lined avenue may encounter a prohibited entry and cannot treat the trees as a drive-through photo stop.
Before you go
Park at the designated visitor facilities and walk to the avenue; do not follow a satnav instruction through a closed section.
