Annotated map reproduced courtesy of Googlemaps.	Wareside 26 runs from Ware Town 7 bridleway generally northeastwards, eastwards then southeastwards to the junction with Wareside 24 and Wareside 25 restricted byways. We need a volunteer to photograph this route for this year's Access and Riding Rights of Way Survey. It's easy - just take photographs (safely) when you use the path. Find out more!
As part of the British Horse Society's work to record paths before Path Extinguishment Day, it was spotted that the historical evidence showed this route carried restricted byway rights and so an application was made in 2018 to amend the definitive map and statement.
