This restricted byway starts at a junction with Flaunden 8, and heads generally eastwards to a junction with Smoothing Iron (public road) then generally eastwards to a junction with Flaunden 9. It then turns generally southwards to end at a junction with Flaunden 6 and Flaunden 10 bridleways. 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!
