This bridleway starts 30 feet from the A505 slip road and heads generally northeastwards to the northern section of Hitchin 28 byway and Carters Lane (public road). Carters Lane also leads southwards to the A505 opposite the southern section of Hitchin 28 byway.
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! |
