Thundridge 45 bridleway starts from the northern end of Thundridge 38 bridleway and continues generally eastwards and north-eastwards to become Standon 62 at the parish boundary. It then continues southeastwards to end on Barwick Road (public road). 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!
