This route starts on the public road by Hempstall Spring (not far from Woolmer Green 10 bridleway), and runs generally southwards to Harmer Green Lane (public road). 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!
