Dist:0.3km<br/>Unlike the more significant ford a few hundred metres further south [[787133]], this one in the woods near Goose Green is not marked on the map. There was very little water in it at the end of a dry spring, anyway.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The gate is just to the east of the Roman Road Ermine Street. The opposite direction is a similar path that runs about 2 miles through to Broxbourne Wood [[77912]]

Dist:0.3km<br/>On Ermine Street looking north across Lord Street to the car park at Goose Green. Fortunately the barrier stops cars going along Ermine Street, unfortunately it doesn't stop reckless people on motorbikes, who race along the path and are a hazard to walkers and horse riders.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Spital Brook flows east to the River Lea and on its way crosses the Roman Road Ermine Street. It flows from the bottom right of the picture across to the trees between these two horses. Today the brook is 9-12" deep but can be up to 2 foot deep when in flood.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Looking north along the Roman Road Ermine Street Spital brook crosses from left to right of the picture. Only horses have to get their feet wet here because there is a pedestrian bridge to the left of the picture. The brook can be 2 feet deep in flood.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Looking east from the Cock Lane to Monk's Green Bridleway [[825805]] towards Ermine Street [[787144]] This track runs through the middle of Broxbourne, Cowheath, Highfield and Hoddesdon Park Woods. Because of erosion and thoughtless motorcyclists parts of the track to the west of this point are impassible except on foot, or unless you deviate off the track into the woods. This is not designated a right of way.

Dist:0.7km<br/>After a steep climb up "Sticky Hill" the bridleway is now level off into the distance to Monk's Green. Since this was recently resurfaced it is nice to walk along and ride horses on. It hasn't been ruined yet by thoughtless motorcycle riders churning it up as previously. In the foreground the bridleway is crossed from left to right by a fire break path that runs through the centre of Broxbourne, Cowheath and Highfield Woods.
