This route starts as Hexton 3 bridleway from the Icknield Way (Hexton 10 byway) and continues generally northwards to the county boundary where it becomes Shillington 3 bridleway. It then continues generally northwards to Pirton Road (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!
