This route starts as Little Berkhamsted 26 bridleway on the B158 (public road) and runs generally southwards along the parish boundary untill it crosses over and becomes Essendon 25 bridleway. It continues southwards to a junction with Little Berkhamsted 2 bridleway and then to a junction with Essendon 4 bridleway close to Little Berkhamsted 17 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!
