This path starts at the junction of Hoddesdon 21 restricted byway and Hoddesdon 23 restricted byway, and heads generally westwards to end on Brickendon Liberty 24 restricted byway, opposite Brickendon Liberty 30 bridleway. At the time of the 2025 Access Survey (2 Mar 25), the path was obstructed at each end by post and rail fencing so that the path could not be used, and there was no bridleway signage in place. Note: 27 Mar 26, Hertfordshire County Council report that both ends are now open for use.

As part of the British Horse Society's work to record paths it was spotted that a route used by the public was not shown on the official record of public rights of way. A public meeting was held so that users of the route could attend to fill in user evidence forms. These were then collated and submitted to the County Council, which agreed with the application and made an order to record the bridleway. The landowner, the Woodland Trust, did not oppose the application. The order also made other changes to the definitive map, and objections were made, so this part of the order was held up. The order was confirmed on 4 Sep 24, so confirming the public right on foot and on horse on this track.
