BHS PGBT The Shenley 35 route was recorded as a bridleway by our Secretary's first ever modification order application - it had previously been a gap on the definitive map of rights of way. Additional evidence found subsequently has led to a new application to record the Shenley 35 as a restricted byway, the same status as the adjoining London Colney 1 restricted byway.
