This route starts from the junction with Hitchin 3 restricted byway and continues generally northeastwards through a junction with Hitchin UCR1 and then ends on the A600 Bedford 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!
