Map showing recorded Little Munden paths
Annotated map reproduced courtesy of Googlemaps.
The recorded byway starts from Whitehill (public road) and continues generally northeastwards to a junction with Little Munden 27 Footpath.

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!

EHFS The East Herts Footpaths Society spotted that part of the route recorded as Little Munden 25 Footpath, northeast of the byway, should itself be recorded as a byway. They made an application to record the rights in 1994.
