The East Herts Footpaths Society performed the research and made the application for this route to be recorded as a bridleway. The county council agreed and made an order to do so in 2018. There were objections, and so the order had to be submitted to the secretary of state for determination. On 18 May 2023, the Inspector confirmed the order, and so recorded the bridleway rights.
The Trust and the BHS thank the EHFS for performing the initial research and applying for the path to be recorded.
