Despite the name (which is the Haswell to Hart Countryside Walkway if you start at the other end), the OS Map designates this as a traffic free cycle route. Following the trackbed of a railway closed under the Beeching axe in 1964 (even earlier for passengers) it forms an easy, if monotonously level, route for non-motorised travel and is pleasantly free of gates and stiles. I should mention that it doesn't quite reach Haswell, and goes nowhere close to Hart.
