Bridleway
5 starts about one and a half kilometres north of East Hatley where Bridleway 3
turns south back towards the village (TL 288522). At about 76 metres above sea
level it has commanding views in all directions. It runs north for about 300
metres along the eastern side of a drainage ditch until it meets a farm
building, about 72 metres asl. (TL 288525). The bridleway then turns east and
follows the parish boundary between East Hatley and Little Gransden. After
about 200 metres it finishes when it reaches the southwest corner of Hayley
Wood (TL 289525). Here Bridleway 13 veers northwest along the western edge of
the wood, becoming Bridleway 12 after about 200 metres when it crosses the
footbridge. The route continues east-northeast as Bridleway 6 along the south
side of Hayley Wood, passing Hatley Wilds to the south and continuing until it
meets Bridleway 21 at the southeast corner of Hayley Wood.
