Routing - force route down "restricted" section?

Is it possible to manually force a route through a "restricted" section of road? 

I would like to include a section from 52.34171007305835, -1.54443122135738 to 52.33472387472711, -1.5215912508873715 which runs through the grounds of Stoneleigh Abbey in Warwickshire. It's accessible via cycles but on the map it shows a break in the path so most mapping tools avoid it.

Is there an obvious way to brute-force the cycle.travel route between two or more via points?

Many thanks.

The only way I know is to drop a couple of viapoints where the map then use the "Go directly to" option. Not very elegant in this instance. Inspection of the online rendition of the definitive map shows it not to be a cyclable right of way, but that's not what was asked.

Thank you Graham, I think that's done the job.  In this case it's not officially a right-of-way but it's commonly used by cyclists, and small groups riding calmly are usually tolerated.
