It then resumes at a point approximately 20 yards north at the eastern end of Luton Bridleway No 32 and from this point it continues in a westerly direction with an average width of 4 metres along the line of the bridleway to a point north of Great Bramingham Wood and thence reverts to the status of footpath and continues in a westerly direction to the parish boundary (at map ref. 511 456).

Approx. length within parish = 1 1/4 miles.

Nature of surface within parish = Good metalled road from main road to farm entrance. Remainder earth surface cut up by farm tractors. Path is generally used by farmers and occasional hikers and general public.

Signpost is on RHS of New Bedford Road - North stating:- "Chalton" "Gt. Bramingham".
