This path starts from the B195 Black Fan Road (public road) opposite Welwyn Garden City 60 bridleway, and runs generally northeastwards, crossing Herns Way (public road) then continues generally northeastwards to end on the B1000 Hertford Road (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! The part closest to Hertford Road was checked during the BHS 2022 Access Survey (9 Dec 22). There were no gates on this section, but there were bollards (which would allow horses to pass) at the junction with Hertford Road. There was a public bridleway sign at the Hertford Road junction.
