Definitive Public Rights of Way map online


The map shows the different status of the routes available, including public footpaths, bridleways, restricted byways and byways.

This map is a working copy of the Definitive Map for County Durham showing all known public rights of way and is updated weekly, on a Wednesday evening. The categories of public rights of way depicted on the map are:

  • public footpath - walkers only
  • public bridleway - walker, horse riders and cyclists only
  • restricted byway - walker, horse riders, cyclists and non-motor vehicles
  • public byway - walkers, horse riders, cyclists and all other vehicles

To ensure accuracy of the data you will only be able to view the Definitive Map data at 3 map scales ie 1:2,500, 1:5,000 and 1:10,000.
