This route starts at Flamsteadbury Lane, Redbourn, and runs generally northeastwards over the M1 motorway to a junction with Green Lane (public road) and Flamstead 54 bridleway. At the time of the BHS 2023 Access Survey (7 Apr 23), there were stones with gaps at the northwestern end and a (potentially unlawful) locked gate with a space to the side. The route was signposted at each end and at the parish boundary. The sign at the southeastern end was covered in vegetation. The photographs were taken starting at the northwestern end heading southeastwards.
