This route starts from Botany Bay Lane (public road) (shown in orange) and continues generally southeastwards to Great Ashby Way (public road) and Great Ashby 12 bridleway. 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!
