Bridleway to link Herts and Bucks

A new bridleway to link Wilstone with Marsworth has been proposed by Herts County Council at the suggestion of local farmers P E Mead and Sons. This new through route across the county boundary would join up some existing footpaths and bridleways and allow horses and riders to avoid the dangerous B489. Starting at Wilstone Green, the route will be to Dixons Gap, across Wingrave Road and then continue over the fields to Marsworth village. Some of the route is already used by riders. The Parish Council welcomed the proposal and hoped that the bridleway status would also bring some benefits in the way of improved maintenance by the County.
