They are indeed allowed to use bridleways, but ISTR that it

My understanding is you can.
According to Sustrans, bridleways can be used by walkers,
horseriders, wheelchair users and cyclists.
CTC at http://www.ctc.org.uk/bike/standards.aspx says, "The
CTC view on this is that bells are irrelevant to road
safety, but nonetheless useful to cyclists on bridleways and
other shared-use paths. Nothing else clears slower riders
and pedestrians out of the way so efficiently and politely!"
But cyclists have to give way to other users is my
understanding.

Under the Countryside Act 1968 bicycles (but not unicycles
or tricycles) can use bridleways although they must give way
to horses and pedestrians and usage by a bicycle use post
1968 cannot be used to establish a right of way.

Not quite true. AIUI the Countryside Act of 1968 which was
introduced following some very strong lobbying by the CTC
only, applies to bicycles. So cyclists on trikes are
excluded :-(

Certainly is. In Scotland, with a very few restrictions (the
most significant one being you can't go through the
curtilage of someone's home) you can walk or cycle anywhere
you like. Land Reform Act, 2003.

Nothing like a good old bit of URC pedantry. (I think you'll
find it's spelt pervading, though )

And some of the "A" roads have special road orders attached
to them - A720, parts of the A1 etc. - so you are not
allowed on some of those too.

The A720, I was aware of. Which parts of the A1 (It
sometimes forms part of my route into work!)?

You can certainly use bridleways on a bike.
What always amuses me is the track that goes through Cadbury
Camp, south of Bristol, labelled "bridalway".
Not sure if you're entitled to use it unless recently
married!

The bit of the A1 between the A720 junction and Dunbar
(including the newly opened bit) is a special road and is
therefore effectively subjected to motorway regulations (but
not quite - things like speed limits for HGVs etc. I think
will be the same as that for a bog-standard A-road dual
carriageway). There are only one or two other "secret
motorways" around - parts of the A55 in North Wales are also
subjected to special road regulations.
As far as I know - all other special roads are classified as
motorways (all motorways must be special roads)

Conversely, there's a shop in Hull advertising "bridle
wear".
I *think* they sell wedding dresses, but I've never had the
nerve to check....
