The interactive Rights of Way map, not only maps all footpaths and bridleways and restricted byways, but walkers can report where they find faults with stiles etc. and cross cropping of paths.

The Countryside Code helps give balance with regard to the relationship of public rights over private land and encourages responsible use of the routes.
