Maintainability
This route is maintainable at the public expense because it was a footpath or bridleway existing before 30 Apr 1959.

As part of the British Horse Society's work to record paths before
Path Extinguishment Day,
it was spotted that this entire route should be shown as a restricted byway. The historical evidence showed a continuous route, so an application was made in 2018 to record this status in place of the blue bridleway and orange footpath sections.
