Annotated map reproduced courtesy of Googlemaps.	This route starts at a junction with Flaunden 17 restricted byway and runs generally eastwards to Chenies Hill (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 Flaunden 8 was actually an old road. The historical evidence showed that vehicular rights existed prior to 2006, so an application was made in 2010 to record the route as a restricted byway.

DM sheet DM3-28. 31 Dec 1977: Flaunden 8 was shown as a bridleway on the special review draft map and statement. DM sheet SR-74. 11 Oct 2010: Application to record as restricted byway. HCC reference DAC/123.
