I walked along the path here yesterday for the first time. OpenStreetMap currently makes navigation very difficult. The map currently contains several walls that don't exist on the ground, and excludes at least one stream.

As currently mapped, the path passes through various walls, some of them real, some not, without gates or stiles.

This area would benefit considerably from careful surveying on the ground supplemented with the details provided by aerial photography to remove confusing or non-existent features and to add significant landmarks such as the stream(s) here.

There's a public footpath signed here heading west that's not mapped yet. There's a stile just south of the driveway to Heyes Farm, but I'm unsure exactly where the footpath runs.

I suspect the toilets mapped here as osm.org/way/481429454 may no longer exist, but I'm uncertain.

There are some new electric vehicle charge points in the car park somewhere near here that I briefly noticed while driving past.

The path between Three Acres Lane and Stanley Road is a bridleway, according to signs nearer Three Acres Lane and to the south of A34 (where three paths meet), and given the presence of steps near the railway bridge to allow horse riders to dismount/mount.
I don't know if it's a Public Footpath+Permissive Bridleway, or a Public Bridleway.
