Core Paths can be Rights of Way, Council managed routes, new paths or any other route that provides reasonable countryside access.

The majority are off-road, though some may be pavements or reached by quiet roads.  These paths vary in type and quality. 

Natural grassy swards, trodden paths or high-specification constructed paths - a choice that satisfies needs for all users and all abilities. 

The wider path network displays all Council known countryside paths.

Water access points serve as a guide to water sports enthusiasts.  They are known locations used for accessing rivers for recreation. View on Localview or download a PDF map of water access points.
