This route starts on Shenley Hill and goes generally southwards across the northern end of Cannons Close to junction of Newberries Avenue and Craigwell Avenue.

At the time of the 2021 Access Survey (4 Oct 21), no gates were across the path and it was signposted at each end. There should really be signs at the junctions with Canons Close as well, but these were not present.
