Public Rights of Way
Public Rights of Way (PRoW) in are routes over which the public have a legal right to pass and repass. These include footpaths, bridleways, restricted byways, and byways open to all traffic. PRoWs are integral to the UK’s outdoor heritage, providing access to the countryside, connecting communities, and enabling the exploration of natural and historical landscapes.
It’s important to enjoying PRoWs responsibly, by:
Adhering to the path: Keep to the marked route to respect private land and agricultural activities.
Controlling pets: Ensure dogs are under control, especially around livestock and wildlife.
Leaving no trace: Respect the environment by taking litter home and not damaging plants or wildlife.
Reporting problems: Inform the local authority of any obstructions or issues to maintain path accessibility.
