Buntingford 13 runs from The Causeway (public road) generally southwards to Hare Street Road (B1038 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!

As part of the British Horse Society's work to record paths before Path Extinguishment Day, it was spotted that Buntingford 13 appears to have unrecorded restricted byway rights. An application was made in 2019 to upgrade the bridleway to restricted byway, based on the historical evidence so that these rights are not extinguished by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 on Path Extinguishment Day.
