Stevenage 109 starts from Aston 35 restricted byway and continues generally southeastwards, crossing Gresley Way at grade (take care!). It follows the line of the old road, Dene Lane,generally southwards, eventually crossing a bridge over Gresley Way to a junction with Aston 36 restricted byway and becoming Aston 34 at the borough boundary. It continues generally eastwards to the public road.

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!
