This bridleway runs from Cupid Green Lane (public road, formerly known as Agnalls Lane) generally southeastwards to Redbourn Road (public road).

At the time of the BHS 2021 Access Survey (12 Sep 21), no gates were across the path and it was signposted at each end. However, there was one broken branch across the path which needs clearing before it falls on someone, and the sign at the southern end was so faded it could only just be read.
