Local Authority Searches
The Definitive Map and Statement is consulted to enable the County Council to respond to any local search enquiries regarding whether land or property is affected by any public rights of way.

Ordnance Survey Maps
Ordnance Survey Explorer Maps, which are produced by the national mapping agency, on a scale of 1:25000 or other commercial maps and guides are useful for planning a walk or ride as they show public rights of way and other routes with public access.
