The following description was written following the BHS 2023 Access Survey (8 Jan 23).
The route starts, properly signed as a byway (photo 1), as a defined track to a pinch point next to a vehicular barrier (photo 3). It then continues at the side of a wide green area before being narrowed physically by overgrowth (photos 5 and 6).As the path turns easterly there were bridleway signs, although they pointed in the same direction (photo 7). The route continued generally eastwards on the northern side of an industrial unit. A short distance from the end there are wooden bollards which allow passage of horses, walkers and cyclists. The route emerges onto Camford Way (Chalton 11) although the direct route was blocked by parked vehicles on the day of the survey.

If the Central Bedfordshire Council proposals for an M1 to A6 link road are implemented, this route is shown as crosing the link road by means of an underbridge.
