This route starts by Holts and continues northwards to a junction with the Stanstead Abbots LVP1 riding route. It continues generally northeastwards to the B181 Roydon Road, not far from Stanstead Abbots 19 bridleway At the time of the BHS 2021 Access Survey (5 Sep 21), there were no obstructions on the route.

As part of the Patchetts Green Bridleways Trust's and the British Horse Society's work to record paths before Path Extinguishment Day, it was spotted that Marsh Lane did not appear eitehr on the definitive map or on the County Council's List of Streets. Accordingly its status is potentially at risk of being removed by s.53 Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. The historical evidence showed that the route has existed for over a hundred years, so an application was made in 2023 to record it.
