This route starts as Harpenden 11 bridleway on Leyton Road (public road) and continues westwards to the parish boundary where it becomes Harpenden Rural 1 bridleway. It continues generally southwestwards to a junction with Harpenden Rural 2 bridleway, then generall northwestwards (albeit with several changes in direction) to end on Kinsbourne Green Lane (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!
