This route runs from the public road at Channocks Farm and continues generally northeastwards then southeastwards crossing the parish boundary to reach High Wych Road (public road). 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!
