Route Description
This old path starts just south of Kingswell and runs north east to the corner of a plantation before turning directly north and entering Wolfhill from the south. The original track was a lot straighter between St Martins and Wolfhill but it seems that the south part has been lost and the diversion starts just south of Kingswell.

Heritage Information
This is thought to be an old road linking Wolfhill to the old road that ran through St Martins. In fact, local tradition has it that it dates back to the Roman period, but sadly there is no evidence for this.
