This route starts from the junction of Great Ashby 19 bridleway and Great Ashby 12 bridleway, and continues generally south-eastwards to Boulton Road (public road).

At the time of the BHS 2023 Access Survey (10 Dec 23), there were bollards at each end of the path, but with plenty of space for walkers, riders and cyclists. It was signposted as a footpath at the southeastern end.
