Description
NRHE data transfer:
A post-medieval path is visible as soilmarks on aerial photographs. It extends for 525m roughly WSW/ENE through the eastern part of Audley Park, between the gate at Walden Lodge and Audley End Road. It comprises fragments of linear bank and ditch which align to show the former route between TL 5288 3802 and TL 5335 3824.
The route is marked as "foot path" on Warren's survey of Audley End Park dated 1753 (see NMR negative number A(CN)9811/20). Although the eastern end of the path appears to be aligned on Abbey Lane in Saffron Walden the Medieval course of Abbey Lane through the Park passed to the north-west. <1>
