This route runs from Kits Lane (public road C10) generally northwards to Rushden and Wallington 33 bridleway then generally north and northeastwards to met the public road. We have taken photos from the road, but we need a volunteer to photograph the rest of 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!	Sign at northern end Photo: Phil Wadey, 3 Jul 2022	View from road at northern end Photo: Phil Wadey, 3 Jul 2022
As part of the British Horse Society's work to record paths before Path Extinguishment Day, it was spotted that the recorded Rushden and Wallington 32 did not quite reach the road in Wallington, by Manor Farm. The gap is shown orange on the plan above. The historical evidence showed a continuous route, so an application was made in 2020 to record the gap. We are still collecting user statements from anyone riding this bridleway. Please fill in an evidence form and return it for when the County Council determine the application. This is a good example of 'perfectly obvious paths' that would be extinguished by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 if an application had not been made in time.
