Annotated map reproduced courtesy of Googlemaps.	This bridleway runs just south of the allotments, from Homefield Road to Finch Lane. Bridleway 55 Bushey was recorded on the definitive map in October 2004 following use stretching back over many years. This route, some 285 yds of grassy bridleway with a narrow hardened strip for walkers and cyclists, forms part of the London Orbital Bridleroute (H25). At the time of the BHS 2021 Access Survey (13 Sep 21), there were no gates across the path, but there was a horse stile at the northwestern end. The route was correctly signposted at each end.

Evidence to demonstrate equestrian rights had been collected by the Patchetts Green Riding Club and the British Horse Society, and the application to record the route had been made by the Bushey and District Footpaths Association. All who used the path and completed the evidence form are thanked for playing their part in safeguarding the route for future riders.
