This route is shown in orange on the plan. It runs from The North Orbital Road (public road) southwards to Highfield Park Drive (public road). It is an unclassified road that is closed to motor vehicles (and the physical obstructions prevent carriages). It has junctions with Colney Heath PBW1 permissive bridleway to Highfield Lane, and
Colney Heath 57 permissive bridleway, also leading to Highfield Lane, enabling a good circular ride to be made.
At the time of the BHS 2022 Access Survey (16 Aug 22), there were gates at each end with spaces to the side for walkers, riders and cyclists. There was no signage to indicate the public nature of the route. |
