This short section of path runs from Mimms Lane to Packhorse Lane. It cuts off the corner caused by staying on the metalled road. Although the signage on the path says 'footpath', this land is a metropolitan common and so carries rights of access for air and exercise for those on foot and on horseback. At the time of the BHS 2022 Access Survey (13 Nov 22), there were no obstructions to riders' use of the path.
