Annotated map reproduced courtesy of Googlemaps.	This path runs from Wallington Road generally southwards to a junction with Clothall 27 bridleway, by bridge over the A505 to a junction with Clothall 28 bridleway, then continues southwards to cross Warren Lane (public road) and then to Clothall Road (public road). At the time of the BHS 2022 Access Survey (19 Sep 22), there was a gate across the path, with a step over section for equestrians, at the northern end. Access to the step over section was hampered severely by the lack of cutting back of an adjacent tree. There is a bridge over the dual carriageway, and there are mounting blocks at each side of the bridge. The path is signposted at its northern end, at the junction with Clothall 28, at the junction with Warren Lane. The junction with Clothall Road has not yet been checked. The section just north of Warren Lane runs adjacent to an area where model aeroplanes are flown.
