Map data from © OpenStreetMap and Enfield London Borough Council.	This path starts from the junction of Theobalds Park Road and Cuffley Hill (public roads) opposite Enfield 125 bridleway (also known as Stayfield Road). It continues generally northeastwards, through a junction with Whitewebbs South bridleway and Whitewebbs North bridleway to end on Whitewebbs Road (public road). At the time of the 2025 Access Survey (6 Jul 25), one gate was across the path but there was a space to its eastern side that allowed passage on horseback. It was signposted at the southern end, but only if the viewer knew where to look. There was no signpost at the northern end. A tree was across the path near the northern end, but there was a route round it.			View from Cuffley Hill Photo: Phil Wadey, 6 Jul 2025
