Fox's Lane runs from Bulls Lane to Dixons Hill Road. It has been successfully recorded as a byway open to all traffic, following the confirmation of the County Council's Order by the Secretary of State on 6 Jan 2012. Fox's Lane and the adjoining byway North Mymms 42 are part of the H25 London Orbital Bridleroute. 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!

Thanks go to the North Mymms Riding Club for collecting some of the user evidence that backed this recording application.
