This path runs from the A1001 (former A1) generally southwards to Northfield (privately-maintained public road). At the time of the BHS 2022 Access Survey (30 May 22), there were no gates were across the path and it was accessible for walkers, riders and cyclists. A set of bollards effectively blocked the route to carriage drivers. The statutory signage at each end of the path was missing.
