PG: OBJECTS: PROMOTION: Tewin 8

Annotated map reproduced courtesy of Googlemaps.	This route starts from Upper Green Road (public road) and continues generally northwards to end at a kissing gate and junction with Tewin 8 footpath and Tewin 33 footpath. It appears as a cul-de-sac for riders and cyclists on the definitive map. At the time of the 2024 Access Survey (16 Jun 24), there were no gates across the path itself, although there was a kissing gate at the northern end junction with the footpath. The path was signposted at the junction with the public road.			Sign at Upper Green Road Photo: Phil Wadey, 16 Jun 2024
