This path runs from Blunts Lane, generally south parallel to the motorway connecting road to a waymarked junction with St Stephen 2 bridleway, then generally eastwards to Noke Lane.

At the time of the 2025 Access Survey (28 Aug 25), one gate was across the path but it had a space to the side (pictured). The route was signposted at each end.
