This route runs from Newnham Road (near Ashwell 3 restricted byway) to a junction with Ashwell 1 restricted byway then to Hinxworth 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! Note that the bridleway sign at the northern end has been placed a little northeast of the route, which could be misleading.
