Current status
No restriction we know of
Kitching Lane is recorded as a Byway Open to All Traffic and Unclassified County Road. We haven't found a Traffic Regulation Order or seasonal closure on it, but that doesn't guarantee there isn't one.
Some of its sections are typed from OpenStreetMap tagging rather than a confirmed council record. Check locally before relying on the whole length.
