It offers an alternative path of around 1.5miles (2.5km) for people using the trail, opening up new areas of countryside and offering views of fields and woodland.
赫特福德郡议员约翰。Usher, who officially opened the bridleway, said: “This part of Hertfordshire is well known for the horse riding community. I feel sure they will be delighted with the opening of this new bridleway, which will provide a very pleasant and safe area for them to ride out.”
Starting south of the M25 the route runs via a tunnel under the motorway then skirts Tyttenhanger Quarry, winds past local tourist attraction Willows Farm before travelling on to end close to Coursers Road at Colney Heath.
Cooperation between various groups including Lafarge, the Tyttenhanger Estate, British Horse Society, Hertfordshire County Council, Hertsmere Greenways Group and local ramblers led to the creation of the route.
Lara Evans, southern planning and estates officer for Lafarge, said: “Lafarge seeks to be a good neighbour to its surrounding communities and we were happy to provide this new leisure track which we hope many people will take great pleasure from for many years to come.”
