The route runs from Thorley Lane generally southeastwards as Bishop's Stortford 39. Then, as Thorley 36 BW it continues south east, then south-west, west and south to join Thorley 35 bridleway and Thorley 27 bridleway. We need a volunteer to photograph this route for the Access and Riding Rights of Way Survey. It's easy - just take photographs (safely) when you use the path. Find out more!
