I collect lanes. It\u2019s an interest that has grown into an obsession and now three books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It all starts when I unfold an Ordnance Survey Landranger map, and begin tracing my fingers over its contours, identifying likely candidates. A road is for travelling between places but a lane is a place in itself. In my mind I\u2019m visualising hedgerows thick with blossom in the spring and berries in the autumn. Wildflowers sparkle in the verges and there may be a thick stripe of grass up the middle. In my minds ear I hear the cheerful chatter of sparrows and blue tits and the trilling song of a blackbird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>None of this is shown on the map, of course, yet the thin yellow lines of the OS Landranger series are the best clue to discovering lost lanes. The map legend identifies them as \u201croad generally less than 4m wide\u201d, but to me they are so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Lost Lanes West, the third in my Lost Lanes series of cycling guidebooks was published earlier this year. It covers the West Country counties of Wiltshire, Dorset, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a region of coasts and contrasts: there\u2019s no part of Britain where so much variety of landscape is packed into a peninsular reaching out into the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In two years researching the book I rode thousands of miles and discovered dozens of sublime lost lanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are my top 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/LostLanesCover_1.jpg\" alt=\"Lost Lanes book cover\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-old-salisbury-devizes-road-wiltshire\">1.

When the army took over most of the plain as a training area, it was removed from the highway network. It\u2019s now a gravel surfaced route for cyclists and walkers but you need to check ahead with the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/salisbury-plain-training-area-spta-newsletter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ministry of Defence for opening times<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the lane passes through the impact zone you\u2019ll see burned out tanks, and other military paraphenalia. Look out too for the Great Bustard, Britain\u2019s biggest native bird, which is prospering on the plain. It\u2019s all a far cry from the tourist crowds at nearby Stonehenge.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/JackT_OId_Salisbury_Devizes_road.jpg\" alt=\"Old Salisbury-Devizes Road\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-grovely-woods-and-the-harrow-way-wiltshire\">2.

The Romans built a road here but they were following a route that was already thousands of years old and known to us as the Harrow Way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some sections are unsurfaced and can get muddy after heavy rain so tyres with a bit of grip will be useful, though in the summer it\u2019s bone dry. At the western end the lane emerges from the woods into a landscape of vast rolling fields of crops, and you can either go north to the Wylye Valley or south to the Vale of Wardour.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/JackT_2_Broad_Drive.jpg\" alt=\"Broad Drive, Grovely Woods and the Harrow Way\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-imber-range-perimeter-path-gore-cross-to-upton-scudamore-wiltshire\">3.
