This route runs from Bedmond Lane to Toms Lane. It is presently recorded as a footpath, but there is historic evidence of higher status. We are collecting user evidence to go with the application to record bridleway or restricted byway rights. We cannot vouch for its ability to be used until the application is determined. We need a volunteer to photograph this route for the Access and Riding Rights of Way Survey. It's easy - just take photographs (safely) when you walk the path. Find out more!

If you have ridden the route, please download a user evidence form and then follow the instructions and return the form to us. It only takes a few minutes to fill in (the whole form fits on one side of a piece of A4 paper). If you have any other questions, please email us.
