A decently long lane in Hertfordshire at just over a mile in length, with generally a good surface, with only the occasional muddy patch. it descends to a low point where it can be particularily muddy but only for a short stretch. It then climbs back again, both slopes have slight water run-off damage but nothing that can’t be avoided.
Situated just to the north of Markyate and south of Luton, close to the M1 (Junction 10). Only just in Hertfordshire as you cross the border out of Luton Borough as you transistion from tarmac to dirt at the northern end in the small village of Pepperstock. NB: The Unclassified Road at the northern end (in Luton Borough) is all tarmac.

The legal status of this green road was checked at the time of filming and was legal for use by motorcycles at that time but cannot be guaranteed for other types of motor vehicle (where this differs, I will always try to include information in the description). Legal status may change and whilst I make every effort to keep the descriptions updated and will re-film the route if necessary, please check the status for yourself on the relevant definitive map or list of streets, if intending to ride it. Motorcycle trail riding is potentially dangerous, please ensure you have the necessary skills and wear appropriate protective clothing. Please ensure your bike is in a safe and legal condition (this is a public road like any other) including tax, insurance and MOT if required and that you have the appropriate licence for the bike you are riding. When riding unpaved highways please show respect to other users (walkers, horse riders & cyclists) as they may not be aware this is a public road. If meeting horses coming towards you, please pull over and cut your engine until they are past. If you catch up with horses, stop and take a break, giving them time to clear the road.
