Public Rights of Way

The Digitised Public Rights of Way data layer shows the locations of registered public rights of way in Nottinghamshire. It is derived from the paper sources that comprise the Definitive Map and Statement for Nottinghamshire, a legal document first drawn up in the 1950's, which the County Council has a statutory duty to keep under continuous review. The Definitive Map is conclusive evidence of the public rights shown, without prejudice to the possible existence of higher rights. However, if a way is not registered on the Definitive Map, it does not prove that public rights do not exist. The data is dynamic and legal processes exist so that ways may be extinguished, diverted or added to the map. In addition, the digital data is also being checked to ensure its accuracy, leading to continuous amendments being made. A public right of way is a way over which all members of the public have a right to pass and repass. They are public highways and comprise: Footpaths (a right of way on foot); Bridleways (a right of way on horseback, or to lead a horse, or to drive animals of any description and may also be used by members of the public on pedal cycles); Byways Open to All Traffic (a public carriageway, though mainly used as a footpath or bridleway); Restricted Byways (similar to a Byway Open to All Traffic, but with the public carriageway rights limited to those vehicles which are not mechanically propelled). It must be remembered that the original Definitive Map was drawn on Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 scale base maps. The subsequent working copy maps are drawn on Ordnance Survey 1:10,000 maps. It is in many cases difficult (if not impossible) to give a precise alignment without a good deal of interpretation and expertise. Even if you believe you are in no doubt, you should check the situation with the Definitive Map team.
