They're all UCRs according to Trailwise - some of them might be overgrown and scratchy according to recentish comments.

LINK try this one, is just a link to Gloucestershire rights of way online map which does not seem to show them as anything hence assuming they were UCR which fits with @jamesDiscoTD5 's comments
Some of them you can streetview the length of and that seems to fit with what I would expect from a UCR. I may take a trip out later this week to have a look.
For planning I use TW2, but check, some marked UCR are actually not according to the council maps. Councils will have a definitive map often online even if not particularly up to date, and a Highways map the highways map will list all the UCR on them, Devon and Somersets are very good even if surprising! I cannot comment on the rest.... The one final hack of the websites is to attempt to report an issue on a highway, this will not let you know if there is a road closure or restriction but will let you know if its a council maintained highway which is better than guessing! So far in lanes local to me that I have know driven since I can remember (well the 1990`s) One isn`t a UCR but the farmer doesn't mind, as it "keeps the brambles back" and is an entertaining 200 yards, One has never been on TW2 or OS maps as a UCR but is and always has been. and the third is well known locally as being a challenge is always littered with plastic from newer 4x4 about a mile long but is not any form of ROW just landowner access (Also is not marked as such on TW2 or OS maps). Be careful and check!

Slow…. But have a few friends checking some routes/lanes next week.
Gave a few locations for them to check while they are in wales.
Need to hop on the Motobike & spot some lanes. Been doing too much driving,even last weekend with no time to sit on computers.

Having a look at trail wise and found it a bit helpful. Some lanes I had looked on the OS map have TRO/VRO or advise to only go 1 way. Yes some of this info goes back a few years,so a sites is only as good as the info supplied
Still route planning with a less than a week to go,
Only 1 more route to plan
