This route runs from Lilley Road generally southwards to Streatley Road, near Hexton 1 bridleway.
At the time of the BHS 2022 Access Survey (13 Jul 22), the route was gated, the spaces to the side were too narrow for horses and there were signposts at each end indicating footpath. The gaps will need to be widened and the signs replaced when the modification order is confirmed. |
