Accessed across two fields from the hamlet of Pendrift (north of Blisland) at the top of the hill leading down to the valley known as Pendrift Bottoms. A steep sheep stile with a metal handrail - held in place by one metal and two wooden upright posts - to assist its use. It consists of 4 steps set into the stone face of the hedge - the top step holds the upright of the handrail - with 2, widely spaced, stone steps below these, and one stone set in the earth at the bottom to aid access. On FP No. 593/3/1 (Gold). The path originally gave quarry workers a short cut from Blisland and its surrounding hamlets to the de Lank quarry.
