This route starts on Churchgate Road (public road) then heads generally northeastwards to a junction with Footpath 2. There is a barrier at the junction, so horse riders will not be able to proceed. The whole of the restricted byway has the appearance of an ordinary residential street. 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!
