Annotated map reproduced courtesy of Googlemaps.	This route starts from Heronsgate Road and follows the county boundary, through a junction with Piggy Lane and continuing generally southwards before turning east to a junction with Chorleywood 24 then continuing generally southwards along the county boundary 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!
As part of the British Horse Society's work to record paths before Path Extinguishment Day, it was identified that this route appears to be an old road, and so an application has been made to record it as a restricted byway. An application was also made to Buckinghamshire County Council, as the route was also recorded on their definitive map, as Chalfont St Peter 44 and Chenies 52 bridleways. However, Buckinghamshire's investigation showed that the route fell entirely in Hertfordshire so it will be removed from the Buckinghamshire map in due course.
