This route starts as Hemel Hempstead 115 Byway and runs from London Road towards the A41. It then changes to a bridleway and passes over the A41 by bridge, and leads to Upper Bourne End Lane (county road), not far from Bovingdon 33 bridleway. 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!
