Annotated map reproduced courtesy of Googlemaps.	This page covers three paths that link. Hertford 12 Byway starts on the A119 North Road (public road) and heads generall eastwards to the entrance to Great Molewood and a junction with Hertford 11 Footpath. Hertford 11 Footpath continues generally eastwards through Great Molewood to join Hertford 10 at the edge of the wood. Hertford 10 Restricted Byway joins Hertford 11 to Cowper Crescent (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!
As part of the British Horse Society's work to record paths before Path Extinguishment Day, this route is being investigated. It seems unlikely that two changes of status would occur without good reason, so the historical evidence will need checking to decide if Hertford 11 Footpath needs to be upgraded.
