BOAT No.37 – “Watery Lane”: Picketts Hill to Huntingford Bridge

Updated Sept 2020

1
The track is signposted off Picketts Hill Road opposite the old lime kiln.

 

2
It passes straight across another track leading to a camping field ...

 

3
... and becomes a sunken lane alternating in nature between a clear track ...

 

4
... and a somewhat overgrown one where the light can get through the trees.

 

5
Further down it can be muddy, particularly after it has been used by offroad wheeled traffic, and it then lives up to its old name of ‘Watery Lane’.

 

6
Towards the end it comes out into the open beside a field and can become overgrown.

 

7
It exits into Smithy Lane at the same point as FP9 (photo in reverse direction).
Note: FP9 is an alternative which some walkers may prefer, particularly when BOAT 37 is muddy.
