As part of the British Horse Society's work to record paths before Path Extinguishment Day, it was spotted that this route was recorded as a bridleway, but appears to have restricted byway rights, based on documentary evidence. An application to upgrade to restricted byway was made to preserve the rights of horse drawn vehicles.
