Aspenden 6 bridleway runs from Aspenden Road generally southwards to the parish boundary. It continues as Westmill 7 bridleway generally southeastwards to a junction with Westmill 5 restricted byway. We need a volunteer to photograph this route for this year's Access and Riding Rights of Way Survey. It's easy - just take photographs (safely) when you use the path. Find out more!

Legal History 1841: Aspenden 6 was shown on the Aspenden tithe map as not subject to an apportionment. 2 Feb 1953: Aspenden 6 and Westmill 7 were recorded as a footpath on the original definitive map and statement. DM sheets DM1-07 (Herts 13 NE) and DM1-09 (Herts 13 SE). 31 Dec 1977: Aspenden 6 and Westmill 7 were shown as a bridleway on the special review draft map and statement. DM sheet SR-23 and SR-24. The Westmill part received an objection and so had to be investigated again subsequently. 7 Aug 1991: The Hertfordshire County Council (Westmill 7 Bridleway) Modification Order 1991 (confirmed 7 Jan 1992) upgraded Westmill 7 FP to bridleway on the definitive map and statement. 7 Jun 2021: Cross-reference error to Westmill 7 FP in Aspenden 6 definitive statement queried with HCC and advice sought on how best to correct. HCC decided to make a LEMO to do this. 18 Nov 2021: The Hertfordshire County Council (Aspenden 6) Legal Event Modification Order 2021 corrected the statement of Aspenden 6 to refer to Westmill 7 BW rather than FP.
