Annotated map reproduced courtesy of Googlemaps.	This path starts as Meesden 10 bridleway from Mill Lane (public road) following a well defined track generally northeastwards. It becomes a wide grass strip. After a white waymarking post it becomes Meesden 11, firstly as a grass track, then as a sligntly narrower margin in a field. At the time of the BHS 2021 Access Survey (15 Aug 21), no gates were across the path. It was signposted at each end and easy to follow. The entire route was unobstructed.
