Legal History Ridge 10 was recorded as bridleway on the original (1953) definitive map. Ridge 13 was recorded as CRF (Carriage Road used as a Footpath) on the original (1953) definitive map. The construction of the M25 motorway caused Ridge 13 to be diverted to its current alignment. 2 Jul 2010: The Redwell Wood Farm Public Path Creation Agreement 2010 added width to the southern end of Ridge 13. 22 Jul 2011: The Hertfordshire County Council (Ridge 13 and Ridge 41) Legal Event Modification Order 2011 recorded the extra width.
