Public Rights of Way can be found in towns, villages and the countryside. These are definitive routes and are shown on the definitive map. Different modes of travel are allowed on the different classifications:

• public footpath
  • for walkers use only
• bridleways
  • for use by walkers, horse riders and cyclists
• restricted byways
  • for use by walkers, cyclists, horse riders and horse drawn vehicles
• byways open to all traffic
  • for use by walkers, cyclists, horse riders, horse drawn vehicles and motor vehicles

Before you start

• answer questions which will determine your request
  • you will be asked to provide any information and mark the location on an interactive map
• provide any additional information or supporting evidence such as photographs or maps
  • upload documents at the end of the online form
• once you have submitted your request the Minor Infrastructure Projects Team will respond to you within 10 working days
