Annotated map reproduced courtesy of Googlemaps.	This bridleway runs from Galley Lane to the Restricted Byway known as Arkley Lane and recorded as South Mimms 77 RB. It enables a circular ride to be made using Galley Lane, Arkley Lane and another Restricted Byway in the area, Oaklands Lane. 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!	The opening of the bridleway 23 Sep 2003
On 23 Sep 2003, this new bridleway was opened on land held by Hertfordshire County Council's Rural Estates section, facilitated by the Watling Chase Community Forest leader, Andrew Paterson. As a result of the creation of this path, the Council received the British Horse Society's Route Creation Award in 2003.
