BHS BHS This route was recorded following two applications (BHS and EHFS). The County Council's order attracted objections. The EHFS led at the inquiry and the order was confirmed, adding a whole network of paths in the vicinity.

If the Cheshunt 16 order is confirmed, this bridleway will be linked northwards to cross the New River.
